I started with the boy, struggling to make him look as young as I intended, I want him to look around the age of 7, but find myself overshooting it just a little.
I then thought I should create the Father, with an aim of a knowledgeable, kindly figure. The first designs really missed the mark, looking scruffy and homeless, finally resulting in a clean cut design of a man that seems to have his s**t together. I just had to hone in on the likeable aspects, such as cheerful eyes, wrinkles that show a person that has smiled a lot, and just clean cut demeanour.
I tried to apply this design to the child, making him look like the dad in some ways. This just didn't work, with him just looking too old again.
