Hansel and Gretel Project: Character Design References

For each character, you will need to draw/paint:

     * Character Sheet with front, 3/4, and side views drawn together

     * One action drawing

The drawings must be based on geometric forms and appear 3D.
You may annotate them with Art Direction comments.

These references will guide you.
