Early Matilde Expressions [Character Design Assignment 01]

Samples of my first Character Design project.  This is Matilde, my muse.  She enjoys conversations over tea, gardening, and is prone to fearsome, destructive mood swings.  I've been drawing her a whole bunch lately, trying to iron out some complications that came with drawing a bull-bear-anteater type character, (how are those claws even supposed to hold a teacup anyway??) and made lots of progress with her over the past four hours.  Exactly 22 pages in my sketchbook are all about Matilde, and I want to draw even more of her! 

 Here are some close-ups of the drawings:

Thanks for stopping by! Stick around for more Matilde and other drawings!  You may even see some animations soon!
