Overview
A collection of traditional drawing studies and digital character paintings.
Process
My process combines traditional media and digital tools including Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. The image on the top left is an. original character created from a drawing challenge. This 1960's themed Frankenstein girl was created using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. The character profile turnaround beside it was the framework for an animatic made in my Concept and Character Design class where we explored storytelling techniques, cartooning principles, and animation. The work featured below includes a character study of "Gus Gus" from the classic Disney movie "Cinderella". This study gave me experience drawing non-human characters in various poses, expressions, and outfits.
Results
These projects begin as rough sketches, then transform into something much bigger. Though they start as an idea for a concept or a story, they can go from a sketch to a short animation, walk cycle, or even products.
This collection highlights my exploration of character-focused visual storytelling through traditional sketching, digital illustration, expression studies, and development work.
