character design studies

Following the character design workshop, I did some studies incorporating shape into my character designs. 

I found that rounder shapes like circles and ovals came to me more naturally while designing, while more angular shapes like triangles were harder for me to work with. 

After the initial study, I chose my favourite design (the circular one) and refined it further. I decided I wanted the character concept to be a girl made out of bubbles, who has to be careful not to get too close to people or she will pop. This was just a scrap character for this exercise, but I hope to develop her further in the future.
