Minnesota Mugshots - Character design

Extra curricular activities kept me away from the drawing board last month. Finally caught up with some character designs based on the mugshots featured in the last post. First up is a rather scrappy line-up created in the iPad app Sketchpad.

Next we have a cleaner version created in Inkpad, with an expanded line-up.

I prefer the character design in this version but the vector drawing process was torturously slow. I shall probably revert to pencil, paper and ink if I'm to use these guys in the future.

Of interest below is the reference layer used for the vector piece.
