Creative Response to my Essay: Creating a Turnaround

Because my character designs went well, I wanted to push myself and see if I'd be able to produce a turn around of a character. Rather than using my existing characters I wanted to design a young girl, as this was something I was yet to do. I thought it would be best to draw a template model turnaround, and use this as the base for my design, so I googled an existing human turnaround to use as a reference. As I wasn't able to find any children performing in a turnaround, I simply drew the body scaled down in each of my frames, which I think turned out to look fine. 

Example Turnaround I Used as a Reference

My Template Turnaround

Considering this is my first turnaround of a human, I think I've done well. Especially considering I had to improvise with my reference. Whilst I was drawing the frames, I also had my moodboard of representative female characters, so I could incorporate their body shape so I had a combination of the model in the example and a young, chubby animated character (Lilo, for example). 
Due to the success of this first attempt I can now go ahead and design a young female character and use these frames to create a turnaround for it.
