I'll be following up with you soon.<br /><br />Nicholas Bayless I've been really busy and am way behind in things I need to get to. Honestly I'd rather do my own stuff as I'm anxious to get to my personal projects. They've been on the back burner for way too long. If I can swing it I'll do something with that character but I'm inclined to spend time in other ways. I hope you understand and can appreciate where I'm at with everything. <br /><br /> <br /><br />Charles Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05167263458388832364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23145486.post-35930486639263557782019-11-21T15:48:04.623-08:002019-11-21T15:48:04.623-08:00Hello Charles, I'm still waiting for your emai...Hello Charles, I'm still waiting for your email about the book I reached you about!

Do a search for "Preston Blair head design" and you'll see lots of reference / examples of how to go about this. Then expand into the body. Don't worry about color at this point. Focus on defining the character with shape and form. Artists at the top studios in the industry know this method and utilize the process that's showcased by Preston Blair. That's where to begin. Give your character structure.Charles Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05167263458388832364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23145486.post-79050809826190375552019-10-02T15:02:10.229-07:002019-10-02T15:02:10.229-07:00what should I do to improve Skippy, or should I ke...what should I do to improve Skippy, or should I keep him the same way he is.Nicholas Baylesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02478543469512853525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23145486.post-76481382192403627092019-10-02T00:19:53.947-07:002019-10-02T00:19:53.947-07:00Your design for Skippy is very basic and has poten...Your design for Skippy is very basic and has potential. Do some research into an artist named Preston Blair. He was an animator at Disney a long time ago. He authored a book about animation way back around 1960 which is commonly referenced today even after all these years. Do an image search and see how Preston Blair used construction to design characters. If you use this method and practice you'll see a big improvement in your character designs. I teach construction drawing for characters all the time. It's an industry standard approach.
