Recently I've finished a Character Design for Animation course at CGMA. During 8 weeks I've been exploring various important aspects that go into designing characters for animation. And here is my homework!

W E E K 2

W E E K 3
Character Line Ups How shape and silhouettes are important to creating a unique and strong character line up.
W E E K 4
Character Faces I was supposed to draw 3 librarians and bring an individual indentity to each character's face.

Thanks for watching!
