Toolkit 2: Character Design - Week 0: Briefing, Preparing & Research

In today's class we were introduced to what our project is going to be. But before starting our research for next class, we were given an image of an animal, we had to observe it for a short while, followed by turning it face down and spending the next 1 minute with trying to draw the animals as detailed and accurate as possible.
Tortoise
1 minute sketch of tortoise (and a later sketch)
Next we played some games, that showed us that we might not be as accurate as we think we are and the importance of observing something before we try to draw them.

Later, each of us got an enclosed envelope with a number in it, telling us our topic and what we are going to be doing for the following weeks.

Summing up the topic I have got: a hungry zombie in a German secret bunker in 1945, trying to find food.
