Visual Development

Initial Sketch and Color Study

The design challenges this project posed were:

  • How can I convey a slice of this bear’s life and personality in the span of 5 seconds?
  • What elements convey a homey environment that is lived in?
  • How can I explore different constraint properties in Blender?
As design constraints, I planned a color palette inspired by confections and sweets.
