Here are some of my character sketches. I tried various different styles, ranging from cute and babyish to more cartoonish. I like the first elephant design because I feel like it is more realistic than the others but that it is also quite fun because of the roundness of the design. However, I do quite like the look of the baby elephant in the bottom right hand corner which has the mouse on its trunk.

My favourite mouse is the bottom one. I like this design because again I think it works quite well; it is clear that it is a mouse and not a rat, which I think some of my other sketches suffered from. I also think it looks quite cute and easy to sympathise with, which I want my audience to do at this point. However I do also quite like the mouse that is stood with the elephant in the first design. I’m not sure however if I want the mouse to be standing up like a human or to look more animal and be on all fours.
