Super lazy day. Felt good, though. Character design is way harder than I thought it would be, especially for creating something that looked good. I wish I kept all of my attempts instead of erasing them; I guess it's just another thing you have to soldier through for the first hundred hours or so before you start seeing something that works.

I was thinking about maybe learning poses through mostly application in the form of comics and beat boards to really understand and maybe even design a character, once I get a stronger hold of how to create the torso that tells an action. Borrowed the Vilppu DVD's on gesture and circular forms, I might try using some of those methods (especially the storytelling with the bean) as daily practice and ways of understanding reference so that it might be applied easier. Really happy about my second character design ever so far, though. Just need to work some more and stop wasting so much time just loitering. Just gotta start doing it without worrying about result.
