Study Task - Captain Character Development


Develop a character based upon your character outline.

Basic character design idea, I have chosen a owl to experiment with and develop into a character, I like this character design already but i'll try some different designs in my sketch book and see if I create any more. 

































Experimental owl designs, based from a random sketched shape, the main features are then added so that any new owls postures can be determined which defines the type of character. These features include eye position, beak, ears, wings, tail feathers, length, size, and variation.
