Hi! :D Here's a fun little project I thought I'd share with you all! I've been following a course that gives an overview of the making of an animated film, and part of the course was to create a simple blob character. Click to see the process of how I made my "blob" :) 1: First I created three different ideas of what Mr Blob could be. I wanted a fellow with personality, and I thought it would be interesting to play with expression if he had no mouth. So, I went with number 3! 2: I drew rough sketches of a number of different poses for him, trying to show his emotion not only through his expression but also through the posture of his bean-bag body. 3: Then I cleaned up the drawings 4: Colour! 5: Finally, I put it altogether and here we have a simple expression sheet for Mr Blob! Next part of the course was to create a single-panel storyboard! I tried sketching several different ideas... On the road... In the rain... In the snow... At his birthday party... At the gym... And so I went with on the road! He's quite an irritable blob and won't put up with nonsense from other drivers. Now, why don't you go create your own "blob?" It's a great exercise to play with character design, expression, posing, and just to have fun! :)
