Narrative: Designing the Main Character

Figuring out the main character for Narrative project took a lot of time. We started out with a bear who looked like a boy and then we had to change him into a boy who looks like a bear.
This is a set of developmental drawing I did in order to find the right look of that character:

Ideas for the boy's outfit. We needed him to look more round, meaning 'bear like'. Many layers of clothes and baggy trousers were something we needed: 

Figuring out children's face anatomy and features: 

Face expressions on a design we liked more than others: 

Also the boy's dad needed to be designed. It was slightly easier as we only took the bear's design from the beginning and made it entirely human. I don't know why it wasn't so easy with the boy himself!
