Character Design - First Lesson

Today was our first character design lesson. I learnt a lot from the presentation and activities today, and I made a lot of notes so instead of typing everything out I thought I'd put images in of all of the notes I have!




As you can see we covered lots of different subjects like archetypes, and style. The first exercise was to take a character and use shapes to make them look different. As I explained in my notes,  there are three main shapes that we use to make characters: circles, squares and triangles. I was given The Hulk as my character, and since he's already square, I tried to make him more circular, and then more triangular.

For the second exercise, we had to change the style of my character. As you can see below, I chose Steven from Steven Universe and tried to make him a little more detailed/realistic!


I really enjoyed this lesson and I'm looking forward to the next one - character design is something I'm really interested in learning more about.
