Assignment
Designing Your Own Characters
For this assignment I want you to design your own character. It can be any character you want. If you drew a character that you thought was pretty cool in one of the previous assignments, you can use that one or you can generate a brand new character.
Begin by coming up with some conceptual designs to play around with the look of the character. Move the features around and change the size and volume of them until you come up with the “look” you want.
Once you have settled on the design for your character do a drawing of the character in a 3/4 neutral pose. Use this pose as your base pose. Use the flipping technique that I showed you on the video, to draw the various facial expressions. I’ve included 4 model sheets as examples of the type of format that you can follow. Don’t follow them religiously, remember, the model sheet is a collection of drawings that show the character from different angles and with a variety of expressions.
Draw a total of 8 head poses of your character showing a variety of facial expressions. You can do 1 or 2 full body poses if you want to but the focus is on the head design.
Be sure the facial expressions are appropriate to your character’s type.
You may do as many sheets as you feel are necessary but two should be enough (4 per sheet). |
