Since I was doing a scene based on classic 50's/60's TV show I felt I should do an animation style from that era as well. I wanted the animation to have a modernist look to it that fitted with hannah barverra animations and cartoons/illustration from that period. I put together a mood board for my character design to see some of the traits seen in characters from that era. The design in very simplistic and follows charactistics from modernism. The colours are generally very simplistic. Lots of animation from this ear had to produced very cheaply so simpler characters were easier to animate.
From this mood board I started drawing some different ideas for character from the mood board. I found drawing the female character much harder than the male ones. I didn't want to use overt tropes on characters to define there gender I wanted the male and female versions quite similar. I did however need to make there gender clear as the ideas behind the animation would not work if I didn't
