Even though my new little "mascot" might look simple and ordinary, the implementation in Illustrator still took more than two hours! - Just because I was very undecided with the hands, the arms and also with details like the hair. But I am positive that I will be able to draw this fella quicker the next time, since I know the correct proportions and the style now. My goal is to learn, how to show different moods or feelings with a cartoon character like this one. - So do not be surprised when my mascot suddenly appears again in this blog!
Adobe Illustrator - Day 13
Back to something completely different: Fictitious characters! As I already said in the very beginning of this blog, I tend to struggle with drawing cartoon figures or animals. Showing gestures in a normal, natural way was always a little difficult to implement (or took me longer than other subjects). So I thought "Why not just create my own little mascot I can always play with to learn it?". I grabbed a sheet of paper, and started to mess around.
