Major project #12 create the main character

Create the main character

To explain instruction without sentences, I need a main character for acting instead of me.
When I started thinking about the main character, IKEA illustration came out in my mind at first.
IKEA has made instruction using symbolic character and only black and white colour.
It looks very clear and informative way.

Ikea used a character that could not recognise gender.
However, I'd like to use both gender characters.
Here is my first idea of making the main character.

For the first series of 'Why not', I want to make a little naughty boy.
Because the instruction will be about breaking 'Do not' signs.

On the other hand, I tried to illustrate experimentator who wearing a jumpsuit to be active.
In addition, I draw an outline on only cloth.
I want to make the character different from normal instructions.

Then, I tried to put into a storyboard as an example.
But I am still not satisfied with this character. Therefore, I tried to develop another character.

This is my last character sketch. Finally, I create a boy character for 'Why Not' series.
After finished sketch of the character, I started using Photoshop to make it.
I used Illustrator too. Firstly, I used Illustration.

 I tried to practice the position of the character.

 By using the Photoshop, I tried different texture in the face. it was interesting. 

Moreover, I put various pattern on the trouser. 

 connect each part.

Finally, I got the main character for my instruction series.
