Character Concepts

 

I spent this week drawing many concepts with inspiration being drawn from the research I did the previous week. Below are my character designs and different concepts. I even drew out several different ideas I had for eyes and feet.

 

I experimented with many different types and ideas however I think I will stick with the glasses and chef hat and I will pose the arms to be at his sides. I looked at different types of eyes I could use but I feel the best ones would be black ovals with a speck of white in them as highlights. As for the nose, in order to create the 2D triangle look i will create a 3D cone and flatten it enough to create the triangular look in 3D. For the feet I will use the third type I drew since I feel they would look better in 3D and I can smooth them a lot to make them simpler and fit in with the cartoon look. Below is my final design that I will use.
