Character Design Development

 After creating the coloured versions of the characters I started to create a rough turn around for them as well as some more expressions.

I found that I am still not happy with the characters. To help me improve them, I asked a friend from university to help give me some advice, I sent him my drawings and he created this document with some feedback for me.

His feedback has helped me with what areas I can change to improve my characters, I am going to start to go back and improve my characters. As the hand in for this unit is so close, I may not have time to do this before the project is due, I am a bit annoyed with myself for changing my idea and the work I will hand in so close as if I had changed it earlier I would have more time to make these changes before the hand in. 

Doing these designs I have also realised that since finishing uni and starting teaching I have got rusty at drawing because I haven't had time to do it as often, I think this has definitely affected the outcomes of my work, I have really struggled with keeping the facial features consistent and drawing the side profile for the elf, I also struggled with the expressions, this has shown me that I need to start taking the time to draw more often so that I can start to improve my art work again. I am going to try and plan in time to do a drawing at least once a day, even if its only sketching, I am also going to watch some youtube videos and take some drawing classes/ workshops online to help me improve.
