Florian Satzinger: Process Breakdowns Plus Work In Progress Film Clip

Please find the a short clip of the drawing process of this rough test design right below. This huge small-headed bird character was quasi the preliminary draft to the character at the end of this post. BTW, I had some sort of a bushy Christmas tree in mind (and a wee bit Seinfeld's Newman) in connection with the shape of the characters.

Here's the final version of the character plus the process breakdown sheet:

Florian Satzinger: Volume

This is just a quick post here on the fly to show how I usually keep track of the volume/form of a character.

Update for a better understanding what I mean with this here: By drawing a kind of a box around the character and then placing lines from the trunk, horns etc. towards the ground and panels I get a feel for the perspective of various parts of the character.
