Good morning everyone, it's Tamai here, I've decided to be a full time artist now, learning how to make characters for animations, and also involve myself fully in animations and digital art, but we have to start small, so this is just the beginning.
So today i made a character design of myself, the picture below. Would love to know your thoughts on this, and if you have any experience on character designs and animations, your criticism would help.
The Process
And now let me walk you through the process in detail:
- First off, i started with the anatomy drawing of the face and the body, with an HB pencil and a ruler
- Then i moved on to completing the body, adding the circles of the joints together with fine lines to make it into a cartoon type character
- Now, i added the clothes on top of the cartoon type character, as you can see below, he's wearing a t shirt and jean shorts with slippers
- Then, i moved on to outline the drawing with a black ballpoint pen, making it more detailed 👌
- Now, I start coloring and giving it a more detailed, a more cartoonish vibe, to finish it.
- The final step is to add my watermark, which is my name Tamai, for originality.
The above pens are what I used to color the drawing, blue snd black. I really hope you like and share with others, this drawing and character. I tried to make it as detailed as possible, so if you're looking to learn character design, you can pick up on it from this piece of mine, i promise to keep posting more detailed work of art, so you can learn better. Remember I'm here to serve, and I'm also hoping for commissions too, I'll drop the digital edition later, so you can see, how it is in vector format. Thank you all, and thank you @ecency and @hive for this platform. And i would specifically thank the @sketchbook community for this avenue to share my art.
