Description
For my character design final, we had to create four characters, a protagonist, an antagonist, a love interest, and a comic relief character. We also had to do two background images, a one page summary of the story, and a one-paragraph bio for each character.To do all of my character designs/background images, I began with a piece of bristol paper and spread a thin layer of graphite powder on it. I then used a kneaded eraser to erase out the lights parts of the images and added the darks back in using pencils. After I got the image in greyscale I scanned the images and took it into photoshop to add color. X)
Awwwww, Theodore aka Teddy. (Protagonist) He is possibly the most cuddly thing under heaven's skies. He's just misunderstood and his biggest enemy is a creature he could eat in one bite were he a regular 'gator...(yes, i know he looks like a croc here. Leave me alone.)

Doesn't he though? And you can't find a better guard "dog"!Can you imagine a burglar breaking in and finding himself face-to-face with this beast?

I think that burglar would think twice about trying to steal anything, at the very least.

I love how you made his stout and arms so big, but his eyes and toes so small! I never heard of that method of graphite powder and the eraser! You come up with the coolest methods. ;D
Sorry for now commenting lately on your artwork, songlett! DD:

I actually didn't come up with the method. I learned it in art class in high school and its been used all throughout history. Its a sadly underused method though and I think more people should give it a shot! X)
