Hey @David Colman hope you're well! Design From Life 3.0; Focusing on all of your feedback, with extra attention paid to the balancing of straights and curves. I can clearly see now that knowing the real human figure will bring out better cartoon characters, 100%; during this round of work I experienced many design problems where I wish I knew the figure better so I could solve them easier. I think I'm getting it :) but I'd love to hear your thoughts, cheers! PS. I got a bit carried away rendering some of these designs, I promise I wasn't falling in love with my work, I was just excited because my designs were looking cooler lol. Also, those are pool cues... I imagined those characters as opponents in a pool tournament haha Thanks

For this chapter, start by filling your sketchbook with 5 to 10 pages of figure drawings. Really practice experimenting with shape and form and applying design elements. From there, do another 5 to 10 pages of coffee shop sketches. Design the form from what you’re seeing, and don’t forget to add to what you see. Finally, design the adjective “depressed” using only curves. You should end up with an ambiguous, undefined form that still describes a personal narrative.
