[YEAR 2] FINAL! Japanese girl Harumi
The final look of my Japanese female character Harumi through all the stages.
[YEAR 2] FINAL! Hairdresser John
—The third character
in the set of characters that were influenced by Paul Coker Jr.
—This characters
personality was meant to be very shy and awkward, so I tried to play with lots
of silhouettes that had odd shapes so that you could know just from looking he
was an awkward person to be around.
[YEAR 2] FINAL! Hairdresser Francis
—The second character
in the set of characters that were influenced by Paul Coker Jr.—
—This characters
personality was meant to be snobby and aggressive so he was pretty much
designed with triangles to give him a sharp and harsh look to his design.
—For his final look, I gave him a tan because on his is all about
his looks especially into hiding his bald spot with his comb over hair do.
—I
decided on the name Francis for him to match the snobby look and his name would
contrast the other characters he is placed with.
[YEAR 2] FINAL! Hairdresser Nikki
—This is one of the
characters that is designed with the influence of Paul Coker Jr art style. I studied
his work and found that happier characters have faces that are crushed
together, whereas more serious characters would have their facial features
spread out.
—This first character
is from a set of 3 hairdressers and she is the cute, hyper, bubbly one. So I
knew her design would be mainly softer shapes or circles, I tried to include
this in my many versions of thumbnail designs.
I then picked 4 of my favourite designs and added some details, in the end I picked
number 6 to take further.
—Her final look, I
gave her bright red hair to show her bubbly out going side,
along with rosy cheeky to get a young, fresh feeling.
—The
uniform can be seen through out the other hair dresser designs, but with
different shoes.
—I choice the name
Nikki (Nicole, but the nickname) with that particular spelling to add to that
bubbly, youth personality.

[YEAR 2] Aggressive Hair Dresser -Character Design-
These set of hairdresser characters were influenced by the drawing style of Paul Coker Jr.

I tried to use mainly triangles to make a sharp and aggressive looking character.
Design number 3 I chose to develop into the character.
Final construction, turn around and expression sheet.
[YEAR 2] Shy Hair Dresser -Character Design-
These set of hairdresser characters were influenced by the drawing style of Paul Coker Jr.
Character 2: Shy Hairdresser
They original thumbnail sketches, I wanted them to awkward and hunched over to be that shy character.
I picked the 3rd sketch because of the overly long legs and fat body just making him awkward.
The final construction, turnaround and expression sheet.
[YEAR 2] Bubbly Hair Dresser -Character Design-
These set of hairdresser characters were influenced by the drawing style of Paul Coker Jr.
Character 1: Bubbly Hairdresser
The first basic thumbnails of could be characters, I then continued to develop a few of the thumbnail silhouettes.
Taking the first rough sketch I pushed the shapes further, making her quite round and soft, to match her bubbly personality.
The final construction, expression sheet and turnaround.
