Drawing the character, initial sketches etc.

I began drawing the character by drawing a basic sketch of what I think the character would look like. I then built upon my initial sketch to create a character closer to what I wanted for my final one. I then drew an even better version of the body, and then one at a side angle, as to have the character running I needed the body to be from each angle. After drawing the body, I then drew the face to show exactly what I want it to look like.

After this I practiced drawing arms by the joints, so I could visualise it. I did this because for Character animator to recognise the body parts they need to be drawn this way.
