Over the last couple of years I have been trying to design puppets that retain some of the character of the orginal sketches.
I have found that digital technology has enabled this process to be quite straightforward.
Thumbnail Sketches
It is always good to sit down and over the course of a few idle moments, or at boring meetings, sketch puppet characters. Give no thought to the practicalities, just try to stretch your imagination and capture the character. These sketches are quite disposable so don't be precious.
Later you will evaluate them and select a few for further development.
