I was drawing anatomy, trying to get better at it. After getting a satisfying result, I started thinking what else is there to do. I have tried some characters, but how to tell stories now that this happened on my sketchbook. So different ideas came to mind, like break it, separate it per bone (not happening) and thought how many characters I could imagine with those open spaces for eyes and such a wide smile. Some food, a soda and a walk helped coming up with a number of ideas, but realized I could have more and better options taking it to digital.
Here is the pencil original.
That piece should get cleaned, to use it like line-art. Which took me to the next image, where to be honest got a little blocked. I hit a wall. Didn't know why since I had been thinking about this for hours.
Without a drop of originality, this happened:
And of course, as a good neighbor I had to make this:
Where I realized that being so blocked, maybe I could just improve the anatomy. Adding muscles looked like the next step, but started feeling differently, so decided to play with the eye and which muscles to draw.
Now, thankfully, I just started playing with ideas a-la Aragones. The material and process is recorded, so I will upload a video some editing.
