Whenever I create a character, I always first create them out of shapes. Only thinking about shapes for the posture was strange- because I would usually create the entire shape structure first and insert body parts around that. Doing things the other way around was tough because usually drawing the facial features goes well for me, but adding in a face shape around that ruins it. I think this time it went well.
I think that all of the random facial features I drew either ended up in my style that I'm naturally comfortable with, or in a cutesy cartoon style that was quicker to draw in the time limit. If I did this again, I would add some features that I wouldn't necessarily have thought of using.
Once we did the faces, we thought of posing. This was also hard because I had ideas of poses for the characters personalities, but knew they would not be right to even put on the page because of the directions that I drew the heads. I would rather my woodland creature was doing an energetic pose or creating something. I think the pose for Chase suits the character and I am happy with it, but I didnt have many ideas other than the one I used.
