Gretel Progress

 This is Gretel SO FAR. She's not done. I like her hair though. It wasn't as difficult to do as I thought it would be. And a recap of her sketches...

Peeps for breakfast! (not really)

It's adorable.

Hand - IT WILL TEAR YOUR SOUL APART.

I found these creepy hands and decided to step it up a notch. :)

Expression

I can't mimic this expression in real life. Can you?
This was super hard. (I think this is a good disgust face.)

More sketches...

 Gru is very...not trusting of ladies, at least that's what I get from his reaction when he pinky promises Agnes at the ballet studio.

FYI: I can't take drawing anymore cuteness. It's burning a hole in my brain.
Double FYI: The images won't stop bursting in my skull. This is kind of a color test, along with her inventing...weird stuff that I can't think of a logical purpose for at the moment. Her hair is going to be black fading to white for sure though. I think someone should ban me from this movie before I go super crazy with this.

Quick Sculpts and Despicable Me

Despicable Me

These are the concept sketches I did for my character Gretel, along with the research. She is german, spunky, more of a hightech criminal than a 'hold up the bank' type, and pretty ditzy. Unlike Gru, she is more apt to show her emotions. She hears about Gru's amazing feat of stealing the moon, and wanting to know his secrets she decides to befriend him. While frequently visiting him, she becomes close to the girls and finds herself putting off her task more often so she can play with them. She shares a love of unicorns with Agnes, an interest in gross things with Edith, and a desire to learn just like Margo. Gru however, remains skeptical of her at first, but seeing how the girls enjoy her company, he begins to as well.

Here are two sculpts I did quickly, within two hours for the first, and about an hour for the second. I attempted an expression on the second. Still needs more work.
