My Friend Terry as a Cartoon Character

This was a fun experiment, designing my friend Terry as a character for like a cartoon. Personal project.

My character design instructor, Stephen Silver from The Silver Drawing Academy, liked my design 1 rough drawing on Instagram. That was nice!

I like designing my friend, so I'll keep updating this. Stay tuned! :) An ongoing project.

Another design I did after learning techniques from a Pixar character designer.

My latest design of Terry. Showing a little story telling. I also definitely wanted to push some shapes.
