BDM126, Principles of Animation, Developing Characters, 24 February

Side by side, it looks like I had a very big busy day in Principles of Animation.  Which I did.  Our first project is to create a character, so today we messed around with creating faces.  Wacom Cintiq tablet in Photoshop CC 64bit.   On the first page I tried bean-based head shapes and a variety                                         of  character eyes. 

On the second page, I kept to a more human face shape and experimented with the anime eyes and noses.  I sketched in light blue on the first layer, than refined the shape on the second layer with black.  The third layer, which I didn't get very far with, added colour. I don't know if I will create a new character or if I will expand on an old favourite of mine, the Armadillo.
