      '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.

          You should draw something different anyways 😃 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.

                    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.

                          Viking Hansel.

                          Costuming is something I rarely spend much time on. This is a great exercise!

                              @Braden-Hallett ooh this looks fun. Are you getting any points deducted for changing to Hansel and Gretel? 😛

                                    Revised lineup so far. I think i skipped ahead to details accidentally, lol.
