FMP - Character Design - Character Model Sheet Test

Fun Fact: This is my 100th blog post.
Go me.
"Woohoo."
One of the things I'm thinking of doing is creating a model sheet for each character.
A model sheet is a page of a character, showing him/her in a front, side and back view.
You can also do a quarter view, but that's a bit too difficult for me.

The purpose of the sheet can be used as reference for drawing the character, used as guidelines to create a 3D model, or just used for proportion or colour reference.

A quick test model sheet I did of Dr. Doomcough.
One of the main challenges with model sheets is getting the proportions of the character perfect on each view, and guidlines really help. (None are left on this picture.)
Mesuring a character by 'heads' can help too; To measure with heads, see how big the characters head is, and then see how many heads high the character is from top to bottom. (Doomcough here is 2 & 1/2 heads tall.)
