Character Design: Week 7 Exercises

For this week's character design lesson we looked at how the animal build and anatomy still relates back to human anatomy but just in slightly different places. We took animal reference books and had to find the parts of human anatomy within the animals and draw them using them, so finding where the knee was, then the ankle and toe joints.

 

We then were given a type of environment and had to design an animal which was adapted to this environment using existing animals that lived there. I got 'mountainous' so I did a bit of research into this before starting but I ended up with a mountain goat, yaklike thick coat feathered creature. I thought it needed to keep warm, be able to travel to find food and easily navigate the mountainous terrain without problems.
