For our first exercise in Character Design we drew a series of 12 circles on a horizontal 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper (or, in some cases, people used their sketchbook). Then, using just dots, dashes and other simple marks and lines, we created a wide variety of character heads.
Next, we chose one of our designs that we thought was particularly appealing and explored the idea of modifying the head shape. Heads aren't all round... how would that same character look with a square or triangular head? Below are a few sketches of our new versions.
Next, everyone found a partner and took a good look at the other person's head? Was it mostly round, square or sort of triangular? We spent about fifteen minutes drawing our sketching partner as a basic shape cartoon character. (images to come)
This week's sketchbook assignment: everyone is doing a self-portrait, drawing themselves as a basic shape cartoon character with a round, square AND triangular head.
