Character Design sketches Lorraine, in my mind, should have some bug-esque features. I want my character to be kind of appealing, but I also want her to be funny to look at, and I want to be able to contort her into strange shapes without worrying about keeping her cute. It's a difficult balance for me. I settled on this pink character here. Short hair was definitely the way to go and for now, she is as close to a stick figure as can be. I never do animated characters with eyelashes, just because I don't want to draw each stinking eyelash 2000 times, but for this project I'm going to try it because they just make her look so creepy and a little dumb. Her big round eyes with 3-4 eyelashes on each side also kinda look like bugs themselves. I think the pointyness of her hair, her shoes and her dress make it seem like Lorraine is normally a person who values neatness, which makes it especially upsetting for her to suddenly be vomiting bugs all the time. It's also important to me that her hands and feet be disproportionately long and floppy.  Storyboard sketch I drew this storyboard on a browser MS Paint program coded by someone (that I'm so grateful for) who wanted the crappy 2007 version of the program to still be available in this day and age. I absolutely love the look of the square brush and the pencil. Its rudimentary look really adds to the comedy and allows your imagination to fill in a lot of detail. The ending is pretty rushed and I'm worried that it is unclear still, but I'm hoping that the class will provide some feedback on that.
