These were the first silhouettes I tried. I wanted them to be very quick sketches just to see what I could come up with so each one was done in a minute or less. I think some of them worked well and provided a great starting point. I’m still trying to get used to working quickly and loosely for sketching and so I did find it a little challenging to leave the outlines the way they were.

These silhouettes took longer and were done with more thought behind them. I really wanted to try different shapes for the zombie mushrooms so I tried a few different types of mushrooms and bodies. I do prefer these designs which have been fully blacked out as I think they have better shape to them. The silhouette test is a method which I learned a lot about when we had a guest lecture by Sorcha Cartoons. Overall, I’m happy with the basic character designs I’ve created so far and I’m looking forward to developing them further.
