Hansel....character development,put together

Hansel as a whole

I started by adding all the bottom elements together (shoes trousers)

Then the top half, braces shirt,neck tie.

Drew one from behind.

I mocked up this final, but decided he looked far too old to be the hansel I was looking for, He looks more like a teen than a young child.

I made him smaller and thinner, I do like this attempt, but the braces were all wrong.

I like this Hansel the braces are right and I like the simplicity of the shapes, although Im not sure about his face.

Hansel character development...the beginning

HANSEL

I decided to start with his pants, I thought they should be slightly baggy but not too much. 

Next was the shirt, I added braces too keep up his pants because I felt it added more to the outfit.

Brace buckles, I decided to experiment with different buckle shapes, I stuck to the round buckle but added a small section underneath it for the straps to join.

Final shirt design.

shoes, it was difficult deciding what shoes to add to hansel because I wasn't sure wether to use boots or loafers. In the end I decided to mix both.

Hair style, I basically through a load of different hairstyles out on a page on the basic same head shape to see which one  I felt would best portray my Hansel, I even tried adding a hat.
