El Zapato Character Development

This is my work from Daniel Arriaga's Schoolism course, Characters for Animated Film. I chose the story El Zapato. This was super fun and learned a lot of helpful techniques. This course took me 2 months to complete.

I had a lot of reference for this. Reference is so important.
