I took Successful Character Design with Leslie Tran through Underpaint Academy and this ended up being the project I worked on from start to finish.The original idea for the project was to re-design The Little Prince, but it took a life of its own. During the 8 weeks, we were tasked with taking a character design from start to finish.
