Princess Jasmine as you all probably know, is from Disney's Aladdin (1992). She's not a performer or anything or the sort so, I think the reason for the comparison with her and my character is to do with the use of blues and her black hair and maybe the skin tone. Also, the flat colouring I've done on my character sheet is similar to that of Disney.
Here are just a few concept drawings of Jasmine.
I adore the simplicity of these sketches. As well as doing expressions, I should probably do more work on drawing her face from different angles like on this image. I've still yet to draw some expressions for my character and post the one I've drawn based on my own photos but I shall get round to it.
The colouring here is very simple and it looks like it's been done with markers. I like the idea of using each stroke to define the folds in the curtains, it's simple yet effective. I also like how the jewellery stands out a lot.
In Jasmine's colour scheme as a whole, I think they picked some very good colours. Looking at colour psychology, Blue is said to have a very calming nature about it. It's not necessarily the shade of blue Jasmine wears but, the colour blue does have some associations to Royalty.
As for complimentary colours, Blue and gold are said to be a perfect match and contrast with each other very well. They're also a very rich colour combination which maybe the reason she has black hair to help absorb these bold colours. Black and gold are also another set of complimentary colours.
Overall I really like her design and going through it now, I can see a lot of similarities between my character and Jasmine but only in regards to colour. Still, very interesting to look at none the less.
I do not own any of the images above.
