It’s been a while since I updated the blog. Where did all the time go? Well, I’ve been busy working on a new picture book project. One of my favorite things to do, when working on a new story, is the creation and design of the characters.
Every character, to me, is unique. And that’s what makes the story or illustrations interesting.
When designing a character, I love to put myself in their shoes. Or, I’d think about what they’re like, or what quirks, features and characteristics I can infuse into the design. There are so many possibilities and variations I can come up with, but I must stay focused.
Here’s a peek into a recent character I worked on. I had a lot of fun coming up with the overall look, as well as the features, expressions and actions. I can’t wait to show you more!
