As I’m starting to flush out the initial story, it sorta helps to start getting a clearer image of “Kid”. One of the things I learned in animation was to keep character development to pencil stretches until you got that “Ah-ha” moment where you knew what the coloration would be.
For me, I’ve always had a really crisp image of a character’s general look well in advance, but it helps to do these “color samples” ahead so other characters don’t get too similar.
I also wanted to toy with the idea of sidewalk chalk for her advertising purposes. It would be a cute routine for her to re-do it daily after the street washing every night.
