Character Design Class - Create 3 Characters based on 3 basic shapes

As proposed by my beloved lecturer, I;ve created 3 simple characters based on 3 basic shapes; circles, squares and triangles.

- On the top left is a character based on a circle, thus the whole fat figure to emphasize it while giving him a donut, a food in circle.

- On the top right is a cubisized Spider-Man posing for his web slinging action

- The last one at the middle bottom is a masculine bravo penguin which I created for the triangle shape, which can be seen on his torso and head.

Photo Study

A Photo Study done when I first got my hands on the tablet. It was done with only one type of brush [Wet Oily Blender].

Throughout the process, I learned how to translate the initial awkwardness of drawing on a tablet since you're not even looking at the tablet, you're looking at the screen so it's a little off-putting.

I also learned how to do the colour blending.
