French Waiter character illustrations

I recently did some rather fun visuals of a character that had been nicknamed 'Happiere' - he's a French waiter that was to be used to promote travel to France for one of our clients. As the job has not been picked up I'm unable to say more for confidentiality reasons.

Original concept for the French waiter



The waiter was required in a variety of poses to be used on print, web and point of sale. He was a fun character which I hope comes across in the following sketches. These are purely black and White but would have been developed to include colour later on in the project. I started these using my favourite medium - a blue leaded pump pencil which I then inked in and then scanned into digital files so the designer could manipulate the various elements of the sketches, such as forced perspective.




Anyway I hope you like them.
