Hi everyone.
I started this week with watching the videos and with designing some exercises, and i writing them down.
1. Design some faces/expressions from photoreference with a timelimit. (I took that exercise from @tara and i really liked it) (did this one as a warm up)
2. Design three barbarians, one male, one female, one rabbit. Each one fitting a predetermined description. Focus on the pose, draw the character in fitting situations.
- rouge, educated - coward
- cheerful, hardworking - unfriendly
- brave, spontaneous - rude
I created the description using a online charactertraits-generator.
3. Do ten more pages of citysketches.
Because of christmas activities it took me longer than a week to complete. I didnt post every single drawing this time.
