Moodboard with lots of different illustration styles and character sheets. I watched numerous short films and drew references to help establish my own style and the pacing of my story. This is a separate board I referenced when creating the environment of an artist’s studio/workspace. Includes pictures I took of my dear friend in the studio, where I thought about how my character would be viewing the world.
Sketches
Early on, I did some sketching in Procreate and made a quick animation to get a sense of the character. I decided to make a character sheet as well to help with making him expressive and consistent.
Storyboard
To completely develop the story, I created a storyboard that I could refer to as I was creating the assets for the short and animating the character.
