Reverse Characterisation
The small image below this text depicts "Kuromi" and "My Melody", two Sanrio characters. Sanrio created the iconic Hello Kitty character and these are two of her friends.
I asked myself what they would look like as humans and this resulted in a type of reverse-cartoon-characterisation.
In my first "reverse characterisation" each are holding their cartoon selves as soft toys.
Sanrio is a Japanese company so the fashion styling is inspired by Japanese street fashion.
In my next two pieces I have reverted to the familiar head-gear to ease the identification with their original selves.
The materials used were: Copic markers and coloured pencils
