In my Sophomore year at CCA, I was in character design class taught by my now mentor, Ed Bell. The final project for that class was to take characters from a classic book, revamp them, but stay true to the essential story and personalities of the characters. I chose to design Willy Wonka, Charlie, Grandpa Joe and Mike TV. Now, 3 years later, I have redesigned two of those characters: Charlie and Mike TV.
The first two pics are the original, first attempts and the bottom one has the remodeled versions:
I am really proud of how these two turned out. I would say that the Preston Blair book and my Drawing for Animators professor, Ed Gutierrez were the ones that helped me most in reaching this new level of draftsmanship.
