Character Design Class 2: Body Types and Faces

Today was about scratching the surface in conjunction with character body types, delving into how body shapes define a character and also experimenting with morphing these body shapes to create a "new"character.

Super heroes are quite square and upright, with triangular shaped torsos to bring out their buffed up chests. I had Hercules to draw, but went on to drawing other types of characters.

Character Ideas

These are my initial character designs for the ninja and musketeer. These were just picked out ofthe sky to start me off.





Influence Map 1: Ninjas


This is my first initial influence map for my ninja character. This was before my 2nd character design lesson however, so I can see myself making some changes here and there and producing more of these. Changes will consist of going in a different direction in terms of visual style & role.
