I'm taking a character design class right now. It's way different and I'm still kinda awkward at it. But I drew up a sketch the other day. I had in mind a possible protagonist for a revised version of the Brother's Grimm story, "The Musicians of Bremen". Then I sculpted it out in clay, took a picture of it, and painted color layers and texture on in photoshop. Enjoy.
First sketch
Clay sculpture about 4" high
Digitally worked
And another angleThe process was fun and it definitely helped me envision the way the character would look from different angles.
