initial practical sketches

as a starting point i feel pretty lost all around, however i know that my work is going to consist of character design so thats where im going to start. sketching out anything that comes to my head has helped the art block i feel like i was in, and i can actually make sketches and enjoy them.

i have made myself try new ways of sketching images by making very small scale drawings with the intention to get a greater understanding of motion and fantasy. as these small images all seem to have some form of character to them without even having any expressions, or visual aspects other than basig clothing outlines, i feel like this has helped me see more ways to approach characyter creation. 

in my years of drawing i have never made sketches like this and i find it refreshing to find something new that works. the characters seem full of life with the slightest detail and i would love to further this method and use it to make a vaster rance of characters.

i have notices that when i make pages of these sketches the ones on the same pages tend to follow similar themes. this encourages me to look how they could be variations of each other. as i usually struggle to experiment with media and process i find this to be an exception of the proces. i usualy work on one image and make that better, but i have allways struggled making the same image better through re drawing it, such as in different compositions.

i have allways been someone who preferes the first idea or sketch over anything that follows because that was the freshest idea at the time. but with these pages it alows me to experiment unintentionally without trying and it really helps my process.
