Character Design: Different Mr. Incredibles...

I struggled a little to get my head around last weeks lesson but here's what I drew anyways:

The first task was to draw a character we were given using one of the three shapes used in character design, but it had to be different to the original. My character was Mr. Incredible and I thought I'd use triangles:

The above was my first attempt but Justin showed me *in the bottom two drawings here* how it should be tackled.

Below is my final attempt. It's still not right but I didn't really know how to make it better.

The next thing to try was to really simplify the character. Below is my attempt but as much as I quite like it, it really doesn't look any different.

Justin used the example of Hello Kitty as something that's completely simplified and below is my attempt at trying to capture it.

Again, I didn't really do so well and the tutorial ended shortly after this, but hopefully I'll be able to do much better work this week!

    Its good to be challenged, i always think.Its especially hard to create an iconic image, stripping the character down to its essentails (about as anatomically correct as a lego man). I think your last two images are getting there. They still need limbs though -they are still essential to the character. South park is also a good example of iconic character design.

    I definitely agree! You wouldn't learn anything if you weren't challenged so thank you for the feedback! Also, I can't believe I didn't think of South Park as an example! That'll be a great help so thank you! :D
