Main Character - Cowboy

 Today I have scanned in the drawings shown in one of the previous posts and drew over them using photoshop. To do this I used the line tool and bent it around to the same angle as the drawing so to keep the same shape. I then had to decide on colours, and as my character was just a blob with clothes I have decided to have the main colour as purple, with blue jeans like trousers, a red bandanna and a cowboy hat. I feel the bandanna and the cowboy hat fit well in the cowboy theme I am trying to create as it is very stereotypical of movies and games to incorporate these items of clothing. After I had finished editing the drawing on photoshop I had to save it as a .png file for a web application, as this makes sure there is no background behind the image.  Using Photoshop I have also created all the different movements of the character, as you can see below their ios a standing image, a standing right image, a walking right and a walking left image, I am going to use these walking images as the animation for when my character jumps as well.
