Today I woke up at 530 AM to go to Orange County to sub for one of my buddie's 730 AM class. Good lord that is waay to early to have a class, who makes up these class times? Anyways, hope you were all driving safely out there cause there were a lot of jakasses when I was driving.
So for part of the class I decided to do a quick character design digital demo. I spent about an hour on this from concept to finish. As I was designing this guy I spoke mostly about personality and story and how it helps to evolve your design into something believable. For this guy, my story was that he was a coffee shop guy, waiting in line to talk to the pretty cashier. Unfortunately, his soft spoken voice and social awkwardness make him not too much of aladies ma'n. I gave him a pale complexion to add to the idea that he might play a little to much World of Warcraft and should get out in the sun more.
Quicky about my process: first is the line drawing, next I added colors to give it a little depth but still retaining my linework and finally, the closeup of the head shows how I would take things more to a finish, adding softness to the hair and reflectivity in the glasses. Fun design to do and it unfolded naturally, I wish all my drawings could go this smooth.
