Character Development

Today for my Silver Arts Award the task was to work on character development. I wanted four different characters and needed to build out their individiual personalities so I researched Japanese Street Clothing using Google. Looking at various images from the Fruits Book search term I collated ideas beneath four main styles; Punk, Cutie, Hippy and Goth. These are my ideas to help me come up with the drawings:

Punk

One of my characters is going to be Punk like. Tartan Skirt, Striped Tights and Doctor Martin Boots. She needs spiky hair too. She'll be fairly intimidating but kind and generous. She's going to be an extrovert and a bit stubborn too.

Cutie

This character will be cute as the Cutie style suggests. Cute animal ears in a white frilly dress perhaps. Pale colours. Cute pumps with white socks. She'll be sweet and fun but a bit of a scaredy cat.

Hippy

Then there's Hippy. I'm thinking Long Hair with braids, flares and a flower power top. This character will need to be peaceful, harmonious with a do-gooder nature. She will also love nature and be eco-friendly.

Goth

Last but not least, the Goth inspired character. I think black dress, petticoat, high frilly socks and platform boots. She's going to more introvert. Shy, moody, clever and sarcastic.

Can't wait to start drawing now!
