Character Designs
Background
This is a collection of visual development and character design drawings that I did for "Lilo & Stitch" and "Brother Bear".

The Grand Councilwoman was a lot of fun to work on because initially the directors weren't sure what they were looking for. After Zoe Caldwell was cast in the role of the Grand Councilwoman, the character changed from a young princess to an older and wiser leader. During the design process, she went through a rather ornate period, with Elizabethan inspired gowns but it the final design she ended up as a relatively streamlined character.

On "Brother Bear", I was originally cast to work on the older brother (Sitka) in the film, so most of the preliminary work for that film was spent working on him. I eventually was cast to work on Kenai in his human form about a month before production started.
