My new book is about a zombie rabbit. It’s written by Sigi Cohen and it’s called My Dead Bunny.
Earlier this week I showed some reference sketches for the secondary characters: Mum, Dad and the sister.
Today I’m focusing on the three main (human) characters: the unnamed narrator (who I named Sigi after the author), and his friends Billy and Stan.
As I mentioned in the last post, reference sketches are drawings of the characters that I do just before starting on final artwork. They help me get used to drawing the characters, and also give me something to refer to when trying to keep my final drawings consistent.
Sigi
My initial reference sketch had Sigi at 3 heads tall. My editors thought he looked just slightly too young. You can see me trying to work out how to draw him in profile, too.
In the final reference sketch he became slightly older and taller at 3.5 heads high. 
Billy
The narrator has two friends called Stan and Billy. No personal details were given for them in the text, so I made some stuff up to be able to get a sense of how to draw them.
Stan
Stan is probably my favourite of the three boys because he has the loudest personality. I picture him being the most naughty of the three.
Next week I’ll show some sketches of Bunny Brad.
My Dead Bunny will be set upon the world on October 1st.
