Character design

Character designs of Molly and James 

These are designs I have developed for our family animation based on both James and Molly. I have focused on designing the characters basic because me and the members of my group believe that it would be a lot easier to animate and less stressful. The characters are designed to look simplistic and not too close to both James and Molly because both my team mates think its better if the audience identifies them distinctively by what they class as their main features e.g. Hair, beard, ear-rings. I like the way I have composed these characters because they look very simple and straight forward to identify as both James and Molly as my peers have stated when question of who these characters look like.

Home pride

My inspiration for these designs has been the Home pride man from the Home pride adverts because his character design is very simple and almost reminds me of Lego in some aspects. I want to feed some of his features into my characters.

My feedback for the character is that, they are designed well, but the form of the characters could be a lot simpler ,the character forms don't need to be too obvious and the colours are too bright, may need reducing.

To improve these designs I will use just one solid colour for the characters and will make sure they are identifiable and will work on drawing the forms a lot more simple. my objective will be to draw a set of  characters in many different simplistic from both simple and relative to James and Molly but not looking like them visually.
