Buster Rough Poses

I went to a Schoolism talk in London about 2 weeks a go now, it was on character design and it gave me some useful advice. I think the main thing that I need to work on with my characters is poses ad giving them life. Like most of the work I produce the stance is usually hands on hips etc. So I decided to try lots of new stuff, These are the roughs of poses that I am block colouring at the moment, some of these are more rough than others, and I have added the progress of the pose (as in rough not so rough). I still need to push my poses a lot, as some of these are still hands on hips - but its a learning curve :) 

Creature Design - Weasel

Creature Design for the weasel character in my little made up story. The one I’m going to develop is the second image where he’s looking super shifty as I think thats the characteristic I wanted to portray the most. 

More Buster Body Designs - Lines and Colour

Some expression and a continuation of design for buster, I think I may have one that I’m going to go with (progress) Colours and black and white - I don’t know which I prefer. Either way they are a pretty graphic type style

New Character Designs

For the other character in the project I am working on, she is supposed to be another protagonist in the story. These are a few designs, The bottom three larger images are the ones that stick our for me (shes so sassy with second one). 

Colour and Body Shape Experimentaion

Some designs for Buster, I've been looking at shapes and colours, I'm liking the huge  jumpers, I have a real thing for the big jumpers on all my characters :D
