Hat Research

This is a picture that I looked for when I was searching for the kinds of hats that I wanted my character to wear. It was obvious that the boy's hat should be like a sports cap to make him look good when he was running. Even if the boy was walking, the boy would look better in a small simple cap.

Boy cartoons

These are some pictures of boys I found on the internet. They were giving me some ideas of how I could do my character. I noticed that most of them had one shade of blue on at least. Blue is a boy colour after all.

Cartoon girl drawing

This picture is a drawing I did from the reference of Preston Blair's book. The thing which stopped me from doing a girl for my character was the fact that there was no many references to how the dress of the character would move when she would be walking or running. A lot of the references found show a boy character or a male. It also seemed to be the easier choice.

Child cartoon girl reference

At the very beginning of my project, I looked at Preston Blair's book called Cartoon Animation. I wanted to do a girl for my character. This was a picture I really liked. It was nice and cute.

Masking test

This is a small test I did for how to use the mask tool. Its a photo of my cousin who has her birthday 1 day earlier than me.

Stickman walk

This is a stickman walk I did. I wanted to try doing something different to a normal walk cycle
