Learning character design

Wile i have been reading The ultimate character design book by Chris Hart, I have also been drawing as it helps me to learn what he is talking about in the book. Here are a few things I drew. I tried to put down on paper what I had learnt about the difference in ages mostly. But also the technique of going from paper to digital.


Firstly theres the grandma. Her eyes are small, her torso is rounded, her hair is short and permed. This was inspired by both my own and my boyfriends grandmas and I combined the two.
 

This is a toddler so she has big eyes, big head in relation to the body and short limbs with long hair. This was inspired by my 3 year old niece.

This character is a stroppy teenage girl. The eyes here are still large but getting better proportioned, her head is still a little large for her body, her hair makes a statement and is long. This was inspired by people I see around leeds and what i remember from people at school.






I also made visual notes to refer back to at some things I struggle on.
