Design Ideas: Character

I decided a long time ago that my cereal box would have a cartoon character on it to make it appeal to children. I decided my cereal would be chocolate with nuts, and based on this I chose a squirrel to be the character because they love nuts. I am not very good at drawing and I wasn't exactly sure on the features of squirrels so I looked for reference pictures.



















I drew up some concepts for the squirrel and was pretty pleased. I followed some of the things I picked up in my research about their cartoon characters.
