🖊️ Character Design Throwback: Before Fundamentals, Before Growth
Sharing Some designs of the main hero I created during (and just after) the last animation I ever made.
Truthfully, not much changed in the design back then, and that’s because I hadn’t yet learned the basics: perspective, anatomy, or even how to build a character from the ground up.
I still Haven't.
That lack of foundation meant I could see where I wanted to go, but I didn’t have the tools to actually get there.
Oddly enough, that’s not discouraging. It’s motivating.
It reminds me why the fundamentals matter so much. That’s why I’ve committed to starting over, learning properly, building skills slowly, and eventually revisiting this character with fresh eyes and a stronger base.
This isn’t just about one design. It’s about understanding where I am on the journey, being honest about my gaps, and trusting that with time, things will grow.
Art is never a straight line. It curves, breaks, rebuilds.
This hero’s story isn’t over. It’s just waiting for the next chapter. ✨
Thanks for following along and for being part of the process.
