I continued to research into characters by looking at the children's author Quentin Blake. 

I also looked at the film Drop Dead Fish and the Abba to Zappa advert. 

I wanted to collect some original drawings by people of how they imagined my character to look when they thought of a small children's character. I asked some 18/19 year olds to draw their ideas. I also asked a few of Mum's Brownie pack to draw some of their characters. These girls aged from 7 to 10. This gave me really great results as i can see how children draw and get ideas from them. Also the boy in my video is the same age as the girls who did these drawings. 

My favourite drawing - 

I think this drawing by a 9 year old is fantastic. It is quite comical and simple and has features that would be recognisable.
