Silhouettes and the Detective's Face.

The aesthetic of the characters should clearly indicate to the audience the personality and purpose of the character, so we have filled in Character sheets (found on Siobhan's blog HERE) - highlighting key character traits - in order to influence the design of the Character.

At the moment I am focusing on the Detective character who will be tall with long limbs as she will be falling over at some point. This shows she hasn't much balance. However when blocking out initial character silhouettes we decided her arms shouldn't be too ridiculously long, and she should seem at least marginally proportional. 

I wanted to keep some of the 1950's style incorporated in her design, so her body shape is quite a strong hour glass figure, making her easily recognisable as a female. However she's mainly all legs, which should be a good contrast against our other character, who is meant to be quite short and stout.

I still think her face need developing - it seems quite Doll like at the moment (however that is also due to my general drawing style).
