Where I need to be...

That's the verdict from my tutorial so I'm continuing down the route of scanned pencil and my latest character designs. Joel suggested that the backgrounds should be light and minimal, maybe even just lines, so I'm going to explore that while continuing with character design. Here's a little standalone sketch that I did this morning just to explore this character a little more. I don't like the bright colour designs but I had to test them regardless just to be sure. Whatever colour is used should be somewhat desaturated in order to fit in better with the graphite. I may make this character brown like some of my earlier attempts.
