Ohh, finally finished! This character is meant to be 3D modeled so I skipped silhouetting action poses, but will probably do them if I need to use him for another project, after all,  I have the character turnaround and profile sheet already so that makes things easier!.  Normally, I would keep my character details only in my mind aaaaand we all know how that goes: * ~POOF~ *

Okay, so it all started with very informal sketches to figure out what kind of character I wanted to create (pencil-traditional). Those became my inspiration for the next sketches, this time digitally. Finally, I made the turnaround and played a bit with color.

Oh boy... imagining how those fingers would look like from different perspectives required brain gymnastics and my left hand cooperation while the right one drew. I love drawing hands, as frustrating as it can get sometimes. This is my first step towards drawing characters, thank you for that Patricia! 

 

Some explanation about this character: his outfit should be a mix of a cook and a warrior. I kept the boots and made him tie his apron to the side like many fantasy warrior's belts. Also the way he uses the spoon for keeping his hair up instead of a hat has to do with this "I'm a mix of two different lifestyles". This class gave me the opportunity to practice more with Clip Studio and also find out the areas I need to work on. Ufff this was so satisfying!!! It took me.. like a week maybe?. I usually re-listen to classes in the background while working on it, and it makes me giggle when they say something at the right moment. In this case, I was getting lost in details when Patricia talked about "knowing when to stop" and it totally pulled me out of that trance I was getting into with totally non important details (which you can't even see after I scaled down the image). Okay, enough blablabla, time to give myself my last pat in the back for finishing this project. Wohooo!

 

Thank you Patricia!
