After the zoo study we were to create a hybrid human and animal character. Since I chose to study the polar bear, I wanted to avoid the typical designs of a bear dressed in armor or a bear with human characteristics. What I wanted to create was a man with bearlike features. I found the style took a Disney turn even though that wasn’t my intent, but I was wanting an animated looking fellow and liked the second page of ideas. I tried to make him less Disney and adjust the facial features to be more animal and found that I was moving too far into the animal face. In the end, I feel like this character was meant to look like he does in the final page and I’m pleased with it.
