Okay so heres the knowledge storm @5weetmeat u asked 4 it.
I think frayons design its idiotic because theres this principle in animation and comics and stuff, that when designing a character, one shouldn't add too many details. It should be simple, yet memorable.
Like, a good example is john egbert. Very simple design but damn iconic and memorable. (Simple but distinctive hair shape. Silly thingy on the shirt. **The glasses**. Simple color palette.) Just overall easy to draw.
Another good example is luffy from one piece. Hes so fucking easy to draw i was shocked when i drew him for the first time lol. But he is also iconic and memorable.
This is because if you're the one making a comic, you have to draw that character over and over again. And that means the more details you add the longer it will take you to finish the panels, frames, etc.
So frayons design is poopoocaca because it takes quite some time to draw him. His stripey hat, his makeup, his jewelry, his overcomplicated hair. His glasses. (Tho those r iconic im gonna leave him his glasses). Perhaps if he was just a character to make arts of once in a while it would've been fine. But it isnt. However i do see some things that make him distinctive. I just gotta polish up my char design skills a little
Anyways i might change his design a bit
