Another thing I am not confident with is character design. So Caroline suggested a character exercise: take three random kitchen utensils, and draw your character as them. I'm not sure i got the correct idea for this exercise, but I drew the character that I already had in the shape on the utensils.

I also decided to just try and draw many different designs for the little girl, and see if I can come up with any good ones.

I am quite surprised at myself, they're not brilliant, but I am improving my own skills slightly. I am quite happy with the two characters in the middle.
According to my Gantt chart, I was supposed to do a synposis, thumbnails and some more research this week. I began to look up traditional fairytales with a quest, which is something Caroline suggested. (Perhaps the character has to figure something out in the fantasy world to fix the problems in the real world?). But then I was waiting for a reply from Leonie. So I focused on editing the stop motion sequences I have been doing to make up my showreel.
Hopefully by this time next week I will have a storyline, and feedback on my character and concepts.
