The Wind In The Willows- Character Design Process

Part of one of my recent college projects was to design a book jacket for the well known children's story 'The Wind in the Willows'. Here are some photos from the initial stages of the project showing my character design process. It's really important to me to have my characters just right so I spend a lot of time drawing and re-drawing them until I'm happy with them!

Nativity Characters Drawing Development

Here is a little snapshot into some of my sketchbooks in order to show the process of how I like to work in the early stages of a project- I like to draw my characters over and over until I am happy with them. Once I am happy with them I will draw them neatly with my lovely set of Rotring pens and then scan them into my computer to work on them further. I will post the finished character designs in another blog post soon.
