after knowing how my character is going to feel like i began designing iterations for outfits this step is more like brain storming , i am not trying to make it detailed or refined ,simply getting any idea out , i will later redo this step digitally..
however this is when i realized that i dont exactly know how to draw that complicated fabric ..oops!
A few studies later and these came out
here i was practicing the flow of fabric i know they're rough but i like to start losley
keeping the design of the half-moon beta fish in mind i experimented a bit with alterations of fabric ,skin and scales , only i was drifting towards a generic princess silhouette until this happend: Rapunzel that's when i decided to take some different approaches like giving her some humanoid aspects and playing around with he personality to a slightly more mischievous character
although it would have been interesting to make her an evil queen i didn't feel like it fit the themes and references i was looking for , so returned to my original ideas and came up with this design
