Character Studies From Media

As a way to explore different styles, I often study and attempt to recreate frames and poses of different animated characters. These characters are either from 2D or 3D media and have been really helpful at teaching how to draw expressions, explore shape and even finding new ways to colour. Everything I have learnt from doing this, whether it be big or small, or even habits picked up in muscle memory, has been used in all new work following each study.
