This project is the result of a deliberate process with intent on creating results. My process was concerned on creating rapid character designs. I gave myself a few requirements:
- Shuffle my music player by pressing the shuffle button 5 times
- If the song is over a minute long, then I’ll listen to the entire song
- After that I have 10 minutes to create a character based on the song
These rules gave me a few constraints. If the song was slow and sad I couldn’t draw a cheery bubbly character unless there were a few conflicts in the song. In such a case, I’d also have to indicate the melancholic nature of the song. Another major constraint was time: I couldn’t nail the anatomy every time, but that’s the nature of a rapid character design. The main goal was to detail a loose idea of a character, which even included the color of the pen I used and the color of the paper.
