Character design to Toy development
I like taking courses, especially when they push me further than I would push myself without them. The Make Art That Sells courses get me out of my comfort zone. I have done quite a few of them in my journey to find the place for my art. One of my favourite courses is based around creating characters, and then toys!!!
As part of the character bootcamp course we were given a text to help us understand our character, in this case a doughnut called Coco Moloko (created by author Zoe Tucker) and then encouraged to think about that character as a plush toy.
I totally (intentionally??!) misread the brief and believed we had to make our plush.... so I did!
