Justin's Advice

My design is almost done. However, I need to improve the hat slightly and make the wings more rounded and feminine.

Story Board/Staging - Exercise

Storyboard Thumbnails 

My task was to create a short sequence of frames for a rock star and a groupie. I really struggle with perspective and environments, which made this task very difficult for me.

Advice from Justin - Character Designs

• Too relaxed
• Add some eyebrows to show more emotion 
• More angles to show anger
• Have the eyes more inside the head
• Rotate the head to view it from a different perspective
• Study and observe hat designs

Character - Props and Sidekicks

Exercise 1 - to give Donkey a prop. Seeing as he has no hands, I decided to dress him up as a knight's horse:

Donkey from Shrek

Exercise 2 - I got the Medieval category. I had to make this category more comedic. So I exaggerated the ladies fashion during that time period.

Thumbnails - Environment Ideas

I have always found environment difficult to draw, as I cant always grasp the right perspectives. However I think my drawings improve from thumbnails 8 - 13.
