Character 186 – Animator revisited
In 2012 or so I found this facebook page that highlighted the careers and achievements of African Americans in animation. I did not understand just how large of a role they had played and continue to play because it is not highlighted enough. So that is where the character came from, I was thinking of a futuristic animated character. This week I wanted to practice and decided to redraw this character so thats what I did. On the left is 2013 version, and on the right is the version I completed today. I like seein the artistic growth and wonder how I will learn how to improve it even more in the future.
