Today, I mainly went to show the prototype in campus. In evening I did some sketching of the characters inspired by some art advice by a friend - mainly to have the shape language very clear/lines clear. I cannot for the life of me do the clear lines… yet… BUT thinking of the overall shape of the character SHAPED it towards the right direction, although much remains to be done. And I only really have two characters so far, unless I start pulling old designs.

Anyway. The character of “Maria” from before:

And looking for the shape language (+ iterating otherwise too):

I personally like the last sketch the most, but it needs more iteration.

I also did a portrait of the character of Emily just to relax a little while watching a YouTube video. This is the original sketch of Emily:

(I do like the shape language of this sketch now that I look at it. However, I don’t think any character could wear so little in Dundee, so she definitely would need a coat.)

This is her portrait:

This character is just supposed to be breathtakingly beautiful, so it will take some iteration to get there.

Anyway, that’s it for today. Onwards!
