Toolkit 2: Character Design - Expression Work Continued

  Having finished the collaboration project, I wanted to get back into Character Design after having a few days rest. It has been so long since I've even had chance to pick up a pencil, starting the expressions was quite difficult. I had become very rusty.

  However, after a few hours of doodling I started to loosen up and drawing started to become easier again. As I have already done a few emotions for Chester, these are extra.

  Out of all of these, the wife hallucination was the hardest to do. I still had to give her expressions that would reflect the wife, meaning the main character would trust it. The sharpness due to the German Expressionism made drawing her expressions quite a challenge.

  As with "Zombie" state, as he wouldn't always be "zombified", he would still have some normal emotions. Sadly, I doubt he would have many happy emotions, maybe one or two slightly hopeful ones. If I have time, I will do more but next will be turnarounds and gestures sheets.

  Expressions is something that still needs improvement, mainly trying to make sure they keep the represent of the character. Some of these have move away slightly but I enjoyed drawing them, it made a nice change.
