Character for storybook

CHARACTER IDEAS

 For my first storybook I have sketched different characters. It is like a brainstorming in drawing.

 The first one I have been inspired by my classmate's earrings then I have decided to create one character and draw the outlines of the earrings. Moreover, in the past I have watched some mangas, that is why the character look like this. I have reproduced the same character which I have added music because nowadays music has become an important thing in human's life and this is a way of relaxing. Even for a child parents tend to sing so that to make the child sleep.

My second, third and forth characters are more likely simple than the first drawing. We can see that there are not many details like the first one because I wanted to make it simple for children who are reading the book and observe the shape of the character.

The last one is the facial expression ( smiling).


Then I have come up with the idea to draw some parts of my character like animal.  We cannot deny that children like animals as they see something different in them. This makes the animal more special in the children's eyes. With my own experience when I was a child I wanted to know the language of animals which is somehow impossible but this was the magic of childhood to think that anything can be possible.

I have decided to draw ears of fox in my character because it will suit also the colour which I want to add later which is brown, orange, yellow and other colours related to it.
