Creative Response to my Essay: Designing a Character for my Turnaround

Now that my model turnaround was complete, I went ahead and designed a character that I was going to animate using this template.

Young Female Character Design

I made the character a little bit chubby, as most young children tend to be, although I think I did draw her legs a little bit too wide and her shoulders too broad. I will be able to edit this when I draw out my turnaround however, so I'm not too worried about this design. 

I think this is a nice design for a young girl, and is a lot less perfect than the girls that are portrayed in the animations I looked at in my essay. She has messy hair and her clothes are very "everyday". I gave her messy hair and designed her with sew on patches on her overalls to make her seem more adventurous and a bubbly, which I think I have been successful at doing so. I'm quite pleased with the design, even though her body does seem a little bit disproportional, so all that is left to do now is draw out my frames with this design.
