A good way to improve realism in character design is to observe real people, and if you can get away with sketching people in the street, then do it. I spent a while seeing the locals in the Queen St Mall during a trip to Brisbane in April 2009.The drawing of Maya here is based on this girl I saw loitering in the entrance to JB Hi-Fi one evening. I had never seen anyone in Melbourne dressed like that, so it stands out to me – as a mere tourist – as a uniquely Brisbane look.
