This class helped me a lot to develop character from scratch. I got a lot of character ideas as I kept doing the exercises. Really loved this class Sandra. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Character ideas
I tried experimenting with several animals.

Characters I chose to develop
Tried several body shapes and then zeroed in on these ones.

Character Turn Around
Though character turnaround was not taught in depth in this class, the use of liquify tool helped to ideate how the character might look if turned around.

Character expressions
I tried several expressions for the characters.
Character outfit & poses

Sketching out a spot illustration with the characters
The Final Illustration- The Happy Band

Thanks!
