Original Female Cast Designs
Added 2016-06-08 03:31:34 +0000 UTCIn the beginning, the idea was to make the characters look anime inspired but it didn't feel quite right to me. Getting direction from an editor or anyone you working with you can sometimes go against your gut instinct. But actually drawing out all the ideas help decide what looks best or doesn't look good at all.
What helped me, was drawing a round of ALL the characters, and going with the flow of the ones that looked best.
The therapist's design was the first and final design I went with. It helped set the tone for some of the others.
The 4 sketches of Violet in the middle there are what I still aim for today when I draw her.
