Development Exercise

During our second session of the week, we were asked to do a development exercise to help us examine and look closely into the final project that we will be creating this term. For this, I needed to do sketches of my work and study what I will be drawing for the next weeks. 

I had a small plan about the sketches I wanted to make to see which ideas were better or not. 

First sketch:

With these drawings I realized that I could do some slight changes to the character and keep some from the original design: 

- The character will be a female character. This change was that it was more suitable for the type of character she will be. She's delicate and agile and, because it's a robot, will follow all the orders from the humans. I also wanted to try a female character.

- I saw that the design of the character worked and it would be perfect for an anime-type animation.

- I tried to give her a normal chest like women do, but it didn't make much sense because she's a robot and it would look odd.

Second sketch:

With this one, I wanted to make the spaceship that Chīsana Usagi (main character) would be in. The spaceship would have 3 rooms: main cabin, living room, engine room. This vehicle would be inspired by the well know airplane Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit.

I would use these drawings of the spaceship as the intro for my animation, to show where we are to the public watching.

Thrid sketch:

These drawings were to see how the interior would look like inside the ship. So far I only have some of the ship complete. This week I will have to make more sketches to see what works and what doesn't.

With these final drawings, I got a small idea of the main cabin, where the main character will drive the ship. I also draw the living room down left where she sleeps and has her meetings with people on earth.

This will have a part 2...
