As part of my 2D character design lessons at college, I conducted many studies on characters from various broadcasted animated television series. Some areas of analysis include the character proportions, silhouettes and negative spaces, posture, shape designs, and other distinctive features.

I picked Gravity Falls, and did some drawthroughs to study the 3D form and volumes of the characters in the show. After that, I also examined the animation physics and aesthetic consideration, which included the line, colour and value treatments. 

Here are the final rendered outcome of my original character design for the Gravity Falls universe:
