Creating a Character

I just keep sketching...

I’m trying to create a little girl character. I like the one on the top left because I think her face portrays a certain sensitivity and vulnerability. Not so sure about the hair though. I think it’s too fluffy and the feathery ends will probably be a pain to keep drawing.

I also like the one on the bottom left. I think her face shows a spunky disposition. I’m not really going for spunky…but I do like her face. If I made her hair a bit more wild, I think she would look like a little-girl Janis Joplin. At least to me.

I think I like the above sketch the best. She seems compact and easy to draw repeatedly. Her features all seem to “fit” together. And I think her face has personality. I still need to try drawing the face character with the body. The body type will influence the personality too. So I’ll keep sketching and see what happens.

(*Btw…I actually made a video of me sketching and inking but the video was apparently too long. I couldn’t figure out how to edit it either. I finally just decided to put up the static pics. My frustration quota was used up for the day. I’ll try again another time. :) )
