-Conceptualization-

 

I started this passion project by sitting back and thiniking about what I wanted to make. I looked at my last year's fine arts works and found an image of BB8 that I drew as my last project. I thought it would be cool to continue this and make a new work using a graphical median. On top of this, an art youtube channel I watch was having a contest for design a "leveled up" version of a well known character, meaning I could kill two birds with one stone. With that in mind I began my research, looking for things I could use as reference images to design this character.

-Sketches-

After finding multiple images and behance posts I could be inspired from, I started to sketch out what I wanted my character to look like. I tried a couple different things but quickly became attached to the arms and legs I added to him; and drew a couple small interations of ways he could be positioned. Once I was satisfied with one of them I took the arms and legs and made a more refined drawing of what I wanted to become my final.

-Comp-

 

I used the SketchBook Express app to do the linework of this artwork and then moved it to the SketchBook app for color. I found that both of these apps did what I used them for better which is why I did what I did. This did make for some complications with my black lines being draw over when color the image. All in all I was able to get it done and am fairly satisfied with my final work.
