Brainstorm Week 1 Assignments!!!

im teaching again and i have decided to do the assignments with my students. its incredibly fun so far but lets see how my energy level keeps up over the next 9 weeks . i dont want to mess up the class blog with teacher work ( honestly most of them are fucking amazing and my work would look bad in comparison) so i plan on posting everything here for now until i update ye olde artstation page.
its an intro to character design class so its a lot of fun for me and it helps me brush up on my fundamentals and it lets me create a tiny world of characters with no other motive than to be cool and fun while being a canvas to teach my process and design principles as a whole. i wont get into the lecture's subject matter here but you can probably figure it out.
