Character design of a Bunny-II


This is another version of the bunny (Mr. Rabbit in one of the previous posts). In this version he has a pair of binoculars. May be he is trying to spy on somebody!!!

I am going to share the whole process starting with creating a line art (we do this after drawing a lot of rough lines), adding colours, shades and highlights. Here is how that goes...

How to draw a chair in perspective?

Drawing in perspective (Image courtesy:  https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/571323902726615393/ ) Here is a seemingly simple task. Draw a chair. How hard could it be? A chair is not too difficult to draw, and if you are a beginner like me, you would probably want to follow some simple steps. You might want to draw this chair in perspective to make it look realistic. So, let's start with drawing some reference lines and vanishing points. This way, it may become a lot easier to get all the proportions of the chair right. Please know that it may not be easy to understand and draw these perspective lines the first time you try, and may be, we can deal with just the perspective lines and how to draw them in another post. (Vanishing point on the left is not visible because I had to blow up the picture to show the rough sketch) If you are a beginner, you are probably going to create a shabby looking perspectives + rough outline of the chair we looked at in the first...

Best practices to designing a character

Image
Work with the author Lot of times, you work with the author(s) of a book(s) in progress. When the story is written, it is best to brainstorm with the author in figuring out how the character must look like. Mostly, the author may have imagined how the character should be. If it is possible, draw some rough sketches to narrow down some key features of the character (or multiple key characters). Rough sketches may not take a lot of time, and authors in most cases would welcome such an idea. This saves you some time later and the development process becomes a bit more easy. Do not rush, consistency is the key When the character looks different in different angles, it is going to look bad. Always try to work on different perspectives of the character before moving on to developing it further. It is best to use references if it is difficult to workout everything out from imagination. I always use a lot of references. A lot of children's books have characters with exaggerated feat...

Designing characters and environment using Sketchbook Pro

Image
How to create and develop characters in an environment I was working on a project which needed me to create character interactions in an environment. It was about a family of rabbits. Mrs. Rabbit was tired of Mr. Rabbit always asking her to cook carrots. This picture was meant to show Mrs. Rabbit's helpless condition when Mr. Rabbit carries home a fresh box of carrots. Mrs. Rabbit does not want to eat anymore carrots. For this, I first created a rough sketch of a house, and the rabbits. Mr. Rabbit is trying to avoid an awkward conversation with Mrs. Rabbit. I included a box of carrots in the foreground. The kitchen has some utensils, an old fashioned oven, some firewood and a sink. Poor bunnies have a small house, so the kitchen also has a couple of chairs. I usually write notes in a different layer while drawing the rough sketch, so if you find some notes, please ignore. When I was fairly satisfied with what I had drawn, I made a line art layer on top to make the...
