Animal Characters in Human Environments

Color constraints to inspire a character, then imagining a world for them.

I let three colors and whatever supplies I had on hand influence my decisions. This may not work in the real world, but it is such a fun way to draw and play with materials!

This character started out as a green blob on a sheet of scrap paper. Eventually, they become a scooter-riding turtle heading to a convenience store.

I explain what this exercise taught me and take you through the whole process in the video below for paid members.
