Day three’s doodle is the result of my being in the midst of reading Doris Kearn Goodwin’s Bully Pulpit. Teddy Roosevelt and Taft are just so much more interesting than I had initially imagined their intertwining stories to be…and thusly it has influenced my time spent scratching out doodles. I debated calling this Foxy Roosevelt…but being foxy is probably something Mr. Roosevelt was not. In any regard, I wanted to draw a distinguished mustachioed fox, wearing a suit and smoking a pipe…..though to be honest now that I think about it, Teddy Roosevelt didn’t smoke….so…..dammit. Well then pay my attempt at a brief history lesson no mind…this doodle has no historical significance whatsoever….it is however, classy. Partly.

Hey All! Been super long since I posted really anything of significance and I feel shitty about that. That being said, this is a piece that’s pretty important to me. It’s the result of a Character Design workshop that I put together for the Kazone Art School in La Habra and Irvine a few weeks back where I presented a few interesting ideas in approach to character design and how to exercise your imagination. This post has all the images that I used in the presentation without the context, but the gist of it should be pretty clear…Come up with 3 unique variables for a character, number them 1 through 3, and weigh those factors differently in 6 separate executions so as to challenge yourself in pushing how you think about visual exploration.
.
I did two separate sets in preparation for the talk, but ended up focusing on “Mira the Time Bandita” because I felt she was the stronger of the two ideas (by far) and because she is named and modeled after my close friend @shillyshallysiobhan ’s cat. :)
.
Cheers! And feel free to ask me questions. :)

Hey all! Wanna know some of the processes and tricks behind my approach to character design like these two? WELL THEN….You may want to tune in on Sunday when Charles Lee and I will be running a pair of Workshops at Kazone’s new La Habra location….IT WILL APPARENTLY ALSO BE STREAMED LIVE ON INSTAGRAM as well as recorded and later uploaded to YouTube.
.
I’ll be going in depth in regards to how I explore, iterate and execute on character design ideas, initially started by utilizing a relatively simple exercise that I will explain during the workshop.
.
For now, enjoy “GreaseFire” and “Mira the Time Bandita,” prepare your questions an tune into Kazone!!!
