Where to go next with this?

Hi guys,

I'm new here so my work may not be up to standards you're used to seeing, I usually specialise in logo design. I was just messing around with my chosen software, Adobe Illustrator, and came up with this cute little character.

I'm not a fan of manga or whatever it is, but I love the simplistic drawing style that is used to create the characters.

Anyway, I have this head now...what next? Should I go on to create a body (I'm not good in that area - need practice!) or is there anywhere where I can give him a good home?

Thanks,

Vicki

I'd add some highlights and shadows.

What is this for? I'd be prone to adding more detail. Check out the shadows and highlights on this art... http://www.freakygaming.com/gallery/game_art/street_fighter/manga_movie_uncut_cover.jpg

Seriously though, what are you going to use this for. If its for a screenprinting thing, you'll have to be picky about the colors you use.

Maybe you answered your own question? :)

Agree with that 100%. Work to your strengths but always improve on your weeknesses.
PS Nice start
