Designing Characters from Gestures

In this demo I will be sharing my process of visualizing a character using gestures as a jumping off point! We’ll be discussing what key elements to look for within the reference, how to extract them and infuse this essence into the initial sketches and subsequent final design. I use this approach whenever I work on early character development or if I cannot decide on the look and energy of a particular design. I hope this demo shines some light on how to keep character designs fresh, unique and alive!
