Art IV Project #4 Process

For both character sheets, I began my figuring out the layout for where the elements would go. Particularly for Diego, I decided to have his two full body illustrations overlap a little fit within the canvas better.

In a similar fashion as how I did Yin's character sheet, I worked on the full body drawings and color palettes first before the other parts of the character sheet. Goin in this order would allow me to have established the design in full and my palette on the canvas itself to refer to while I worked on the rest of the character sheet.

Then, I polished the sketches of the smaller drawings so that I wouldn't keep myself guessing while I did the line art for them. In this phase, I could rearrange and resize them for desired formatting. I ended up switching Albert's yawning pose from the one below to the one above(with the mug).

Lastly, I added the rest of the color and text. I gave myself a bit more wiggle room with the formatting by not always having a harsh border for the different sections of the character sheets compared to Yin's character sheet which had more solid background shapes to section the parts off from each other. I also did not color in a background for the full body illustrations so that I could position them as close to each other as I wanted, including the color palettes(which aren't labelled like they were on Yin's character sheet). Overall, I think I improved the formatting after my first attempt with Yin's character sheet.
