Today, I want to share with you a few sketches I've made recently. My main focus was on stylizing shapes, and I wanted to move away from realism. The key here is to pay attention to the choice of reference (it's important that the character in the reference has distinct features and that you can easily break down the simple shapes). It's also crucial to work quickly and start defining those shapes right away.
By the way, my reference from https://www.instagram.com/earthsworld is an incredible photographer from whom you can draw ideas and inspiration for creating your own characters.
