Study Task 2 - Character Design and Development (Character Line Up and Background)

I had a general idea of how I wanted my story to go and what kind of background characters would be in it. Using the same principles of character design we were taught in the beginning of the module, I came up with a few characters I liked.

Every character intentionally sports stripes somewhere on their clothing as a shoutout to the Beano style (though it's a bit harder to see on the gardener) and after some experimentation I went with classic villain colours for my bully. I also named the gardener and elderly lady after David Law and his daughter Rosemary (the original inspiration for Beryl).

I drew the background of the street in my story to put my line-up on. Though I'm unlikely going to use this background from this perspective, I thought it worked well to place my characters in context, granted my backgrounds are a bit limited by my artistic abilities.
