After scribbling out several pages of my sketch book I took a break from trying to design 'Lily'. Then after finishing a fair few of my boards I had more of an idea of how I wanted her to look and tried again.
First attempt didn't pan out. I used a couple of relatives for a vague reference, but in the intial sketch she looked too old and not particularly endearing.So I decided to look for some young characters I thought of as being cute and had a look at 'Lilo & Stitch'. Lily then became much smaller and more childlike in my opinion. Originally I was going to avoid pigtails because I thought it was a little cliche, but I decided to stick with them after all.
And these are just some colour studies to think about what colour works for her. I haven't decided yet.
That's all for now.
