This piece shows a breakdown for how I developed my original character, Milly.
The first two drawings in the upper right were my initial sketches, where I pinned down the general color scheme and aesthetic I wanted Milly to have as a popstar/biker. After that, I moved onto the more fleshed-out drawings below where I wanted to incorporate more of a rebellious bruiser personality while experimenting more with the color scheme.
Finally, after making these sketches and seeking out more reference material, I moved onto the final design to the left where I attempted to streamline the outfit and flesh out Milly's anatomy.
While I do plan to go back and update her design at some point, I'm incredibly happy with how Milly's come out so far and had a lot of fun experimenting to hone down her look.
