Character Design

I really like doing character design! I can match styles, though my strongest area is a stylization with relatively realistic proportions- think Disney renaissance. I love to focus on expressive and distinct faces and silhouettes.

Then working out the specifics of his face- I knew already what the broad strokes I wanted were, time to narrow it down

And a final look!
