Character design


 

I took Sara Beth Morgan's class on Skillshare called Illustrating Characters for Animation in Adobe Photoshop.
This is my final project for the class. I made it my priority to design a character focusing on inclusivity. Her nose and skin color are the most essential features. I believe we see very little representation in the industry

when it comes to real facial features, especially noses that aren't flat or button-shaped.
I took it upon myself to design an authentic and relatable character.
Below you can see the breakdown of my process.
