"The Professor" - By José Pedro Gioscia
This contest was for me a real challenge, but I really enjoyed the process and I am proud of the final result. I have been drawing bodybuilders for a long time, but it was the first time I was asked to make a bodybuilder character design appealing for kids between 4-9 years old. After many concept ideas where I tried different body proportions I came up with this design of Nasser El Sonbaty, where I stylized his face and did not give to much detail to his muscle separation and veins because I wanted this set of characters to look as friendly as possible to our target audience. To enphasize the idea of his academic career I put a graduation hat in his head and added a bow tie to look like a smart professor. I draw this pose because it looks like he is teaching us something. I hope you like it as much as I did creating it! p.s: In the chalkboard next to him you can see the formula of testosterone ;)
