Workin' through unique and appealing character design
-
From what I understood about the original tale of Hansel and Gretel, The wife was cruel and uncaring towards the children, so I am so glad that you decided to go that route. The words you said to describe the father was also accurate. I am so excited to see how this turns out. I love the shapes you created. however for the witch, is there to be a transformation? will her shape language evolve? I would be very interested in that.

'unique and appealing character design' (I know there was a sharing thread, but I have no idea where it is).
I'm doing Hansel and Gretel instead of Beauty and the Beast (because I am NOT a fan)OMG I am at the course too and didn't want to do the assignments, because I am NOT a fan of Beauty and the Beast too...why didn't I also came with the idea to draw soemthing different.
Love your sketches of all the characters, looking to see more Braden. -
@Kori-Jensen Thanks! And yes there's gonna be a transformation with the witch. She's gonna be all friendly and round with a huge 'hump' on her back. Later on she removes her cloak and reveals that she's a troll with a bunch of cages strapped to her back filled with chidrin bones.

liked the idea of Hansel and Gretel because there were 5 core characters which was perfect for the course. -
@Braden-Hallett great share here man, it’s nice to see the thought that’s going into your shapes and character design. I can’t wait to get to this course because I could really use a boost to my skills in this department. Until then, I’ll just creep around and admire the great work shared by others in here.

Are you working through the fundemantals in order?

@Kori-Jensen thanks

Lesson three: proportion.
I've definitely got some more pronounced variation in relative size and shape after this!

@Braden-Hallett yeah, I figured that was the way to go. Jake had emailed me a list of classes to do in order a while back before the curriculum was created so I had picked away a few already but then the curriculum was designed and I went back to the start to hit them in sequence.

These are great character designs! Good job!

Viking Hansel.
Costuming is something I rarely spend much time on. This is a great exercise!
-
Viking woodcutter and viking wife
-
@Braden-Hallett ooh this looks fun. Are you getting any points deducted for changing to Hansel and Gretel?
