This was followed by doing the opposite. The whole point of this is that what are brains think something looks like is usually very different from what it actually looks like, these exercises where meant to bridge the gap so what are brain sees and what we actually see are the same thing.

In terms of styles they range from making a character very realistic to being more cartoony which was demonstrated in the first exercise. At random we where given characters that we had to take from one end of the spectrum to the other. I was given danger mouse that was very cartoony so I had to make him more realistic. The main differences from the two styles is that the realistic approach involves making the head smaller, using more complex shapes and realistic body proportions. The second exercise revolved more around shapes. Characters with square shapes lo
