Character head-turn (draft)

A quick turn-around of my character.

Mushroom design

A quick drawing of Mushroom. For the mushroom design I want them to look as realistic as possible, so I will take a lot of time on them.

They are quite easy and fun to draw,  so I think I will enjoy drawing them on the final actual work.

Character design development

I wanted to keep my character design as simple as possible, so I've fit her size in the average criteria, with a slight bigger head and thinner leg to give a bit of character into the design.

This is the initial design of her, I have followed the circle, triangle and square rule. Her personality is kind, but active and enthusiastic so I've made her head a circle shape with triangular nose and sharp hair to show the active personality. Her body is almost a triangle shape too to also show her enthusiastic personality.

The fairy is going to be about her head size, so bigger than ordinary butterfly size.

She will be holding an A3 Sketchbook with a pencil.

 Slightly big thigh to show her activeness, slight big chest to show the girly-ness.

Different expression of her.

Field Trip - Newark-on-trent Lake

I went to Newark-on-trent and found a nice public walking path with lots of trees and lake.

 

 

I have also found good fungi for my mushroom design.

 

This fungi is pretty much what I was looking for, I can just picture a tiny fairy sitting on them, resting.

Amanita muscaria - Poisonous Mushroom, one of the most recognisable and widely encountered in popular culture.


Layout Plan

This is a Layout plan from the birds-eye view. I wanted to keep everything simple so my character will be moving in a straight line as it shows with pink arrow. Nothing decorative, just trees and ground in the middle.

Animatics developed

Changed the beginning and the pond scene.
Beginning should look better with the character's whole body is in the screen.

Pond scene I wanted to draw it in perspective, I have shown the mushroom more so it shows what the fairy is sitting on.

Hair movement

I have tried an experiment of my character's hair movement. It would look like this with the wind.
