orientation week

we were asked to look at an illustrator in which we found inspiration from. i chose jin kim.
jin kim is a concept artist and character designer. 

context
kim created this sheet of character designs to help in the production of the disney movie big hero 6. i am fascinated by his ability to create so many facial expressions but still have it look like the same person.

content
within this illustration is 8 sketches of hiro himada, the main protagonist of big hero 6. being able to see the pencil markings and beginning drawings of characters is sometimes more interesting to me than the actual movie.

image
the image is successful as it's doing its job, showing the audience the development of hiro as a character, also showing his personality through the chosen facial expressions.
