Character Design

So monday I started a character design course with Stephen Silver. Every week there is a lecture and an assignment...the first week (this week) was to design a character (loose sketch) based on the provided description...the description was long so i won't put it all here, but I will post the resulting sketch...

That can't be a lion

So I started drawing and thought, let's go for a shady little lion...a little something that looks a little crafty or something...you know, he's the lion sitting on a milk crate, trying to get you to find the marble under the cup...well, that was the intention...I showed my wife and she said, he looks drunk...I showed my son and he said "Daddy, that can't be a lion, lions have manes, he has no mane"...touche five year old...I tried to explain he was wearing a beanie...he wasn't buying it...all in all I will call this mission not accomplished...
