Character Design - ideas based on clothes and looks


this is a walt disney character design from the artist named Jin Kim.
The reason why I picked this one is because it's a 2 in 1 character
design progress. You can see how he tried to design the King with
different outfits, different hairstyles, slightly different facial features.
And in the end the final design was the last one on the right.
Based on this, I'm going to try to design different canarnyon charac-
ters, with different hairstyles, different facial features and different clo-
thes and based on those designs, I'm either going to combine them
or I'll just pick the one I like the most among them.




Moodboard - Outfits for boys - children

Before getting in to the character outfit designs or physical traits designs, I would like to do a bit of research
on outfits that boys around Canarnyon's age would wear. This will be like an inspiration and would help me design his outfits.

For the hairstyles, instead of looking at real hairstyles fro kids, I decided to look at some cartoons where the characters are around Canarnyon's age and where they are boys.
This is a short list of the cartoons I looked at:
-Titeuf
-Kid Paddle
-Goofy and Max (Movie 1)
-Cedric
-Martin Matin
-The pirate family
-The Simpsons
