Meet Ayla. 

She is a girl that has grown up living the beach bum life and has to finally start a life in the big city. It's all still a really rough idea, I just enjoyed making doodles of her. 

Sketchbook pages.

I discovered a blog by Will Terell and that inspired me to loosen up my drawing, break away from keeping everything realistic so I did some studies of different facial features and hands. I found it to be very liberating to draw in this way and will post some character designs up soon.
