This is the front and side view of my character. I worked out that he would be exactly 4 heads tall. I Think that I successfully managed to create depth and dimension and shape to my character. The style of my character is meant to be simple as it is my first experience thoroughly designing a character, so I didn't want to push myself too far by establishing a style, when it wasn't involve in my brief.
From my past drawings, I saw that my characters head still wasn't the right shape for my liking. This thought has caused me to draw his head a bit more squished vertically to fill out his face further.
This is my 1/4 and 3/4 angles of my character. I feel like my character is a fairly easy character to draw from different angles because of his basic shape. When I design characters in the future, I will definitely challenge myself, and create characters that have a lot of room for extreme poses and facial expressions.
This was a quick sketch I did as a reference when drawing my character on a larger scale. I found this helpful as my other sketches haven't been of him with no expression.
This is a final, cleaned up version of my character for my character sheet. I feel that from looking you understand his round, soft form from the overhanging belly and his slouching arms
Overall, I am happy with my character's final look. I feel that he would be hard to create as a puppet/armature because of the size of his body. I also feel like I would be restricted with animating a puppet of him considering the only things that would be able to move is his arms, legs and facial features, and I feel that materials would be limited for me to create an articulate face.
My next step in developing my character is through thorough sketches of my character in various poses to gain a further understanding of how characters features affect how they are perceived.
