Process

These are some of the steps I take before settling with a definite character design.

The early stages:

 I begin by looking at reference material and from there I start sketching out what comes to mind. At first, when I start to draw, my first concepts are shamefully awful. But eventually, as I work through my sketches I start to see some connections amongst them and greater and better ideas begin to develop. Out of all the sketches I draw, I pick the ones that I  think have potential and better fit the story. I look for the style, the mood and the personality of each character. I like to think that the character is already there, you just need to search for it through sketching out, until you find it.
