FFA 121 Character Design Progress

The next assignment is quite challenging since we have to draw a cartoon character based on basic shapes such as circle, square and rectangle. For my assignment, I chose two triangles, a circle (not quite) and a rectangle.

 And so I did actually started the assignment by drawing the shapes as my earliest sketch. After that, I tried putting on limbs and such to make it more human-like, and yes, I don't prefer to draw animals. 

So this is my rough sketches painfully made from the shapes. It doesn't look all that complicated but it serves as a challenge to me nevertheless as I've never done such a thing like drawing people from shapes. It's a good kind of change once in a while.

After that I started to do the lineart of the sketches. Some don't end up like how they were initially planned to be but I tried to make do with what I could muster up from my inability to make a drawing I'm satisfied with.

So this is how it looks like without the sketch
layer.

Then I put some character colours on them. The left-most looks brave and has the look of a typical main character of certain stories, so red suits him just right. The second from left looks like a fat but cheerful kind of person so yellow kind of suits his character. The second from right is made to look like a girl with a good-natured smile and temper, sort of like those who gives you the calm feeling when you look at them so green is my choice. Lastly, I give blue to the right-most for his lankiness and how he looks awkward most of the time, how he is not known for easily getting angry, some sort of a bullied character.

Because of some technical reasons, I'll continue on the second post of this assignment progress.
