character designs for dear nana

i'v decided to give lydia a hand of her project with designing a few characters.

I designed this character which is the farmer in the story. i created him on photos shop with adding a checkered patterned shirt to him. I think the patterned shirt gives it a good effect to it but talking to lydia, this would be hard when animating. I shown lydia what i done but the line work is not what the style is like. looking at her work, she creates her characters by drawing them first on papaer and the adding colour to it by using felt tips. I decided to leave the tablet and went back to designing characters in the sketch book.

I also designed a few sketches of the dog.
