I'm currently taking Anthony Jones' character design bootcamp class and this is my progress so far. Hoping to get some crits from this community! This is also my first post in Polycount!

pretty good so far, but when I look at the characters with out the description they all look the same. Shape(squares, circles, triangles) and silhouette are very important, also body language. For example scientist. When I think of scientist, I think of someone maybe really thin and lanky or very round, maybe they dont eat when they are supposed or get the exorcise they need because they are consumed with work. Maybe they have bad posture because of hunching over their work. If you havent yet you should go to artstation and check out the character design winners for their contest. https://magazine.artstation.com/2017/10/human-challenge-character-design-winners-interview/ There are some amazing designs. Hope this was somewhat helpful and good luck with your class!

well I think you need to get your body shape gesture right before get into design and details.

That's fair but I've just been doing the assignments the teachers been giving me. Good advice though!
