After the crit the first thing I wanted to change was the alterations to my character. Since a lot of people said that she was too big to be seen as 'a little sister', I scaled her down so that it is more obvious once she is next to her brother.
Another thing people mentioned was her eyes. I loved how small and mischievous her eyes looked to begin with but since more than one person commented on it, I decided to enlarge them. I think most people will be able to tell what her expression is trying to say better once the camera is far away.
Since I really did have the final design for my character now, I drew her in the t-pose! I have never drawn a character in t-pose before so this was quite fun for me to experience! It was more tricky to draw her from the side as I had to get all the shoulder and leg height the same as the front and the back.
Sara also mentioned in her lecture that it can be a bit more helpful to draw your character in other poses to get their personality across. Since I want my little sister to be upbeat and full of mischief, I posed her like a typical younger sister and I also had a lot of fun doing this as well!
Lastly, I drew some outlines of her because I think this would be much easier as references for when I am actually in Maya. The lines make the character more easy to see, especially when I will be using it as a guideline for extruding and so forth, so this was a very helpful step for me to take.
