Last weeks assignments were to pick one of our previously made character thumbnails, and continue building onto the one we chose. To do so, we were to draw our chosen character from loose pose sketch to clear lines, and an orthogonal turnaround as well. For extra credit we could also provide a close-up of the head.

Basic facts about this character:

Name: Muir

Sex: Female

Age: Young adult (roughly 22 – 25 years old)

Strong and somewhat agile. Has good stamina but cannot run very fast. Can grab objects with her tail.

Adventurous and eager to help out in situations where her strength can be displayed. Overly confident to the point of where she’s often cocky, which leads to her ending up in trouble a lot. Trouble usually resolved by fighting her way out of it, or by the wit of her two close friends.

All in all, this was an interesting assignment, and my first time doing a full-body turnaround. If I ever get the chance to, I will redo Muir’s turnaround just to see how I can improve upon it.
