There’s plenty of room to mess around with the character too, from changing the hat and eyes to taking it in a completely different direction.

We'll use three black Posca pens, a cheap sketchbook and a little metallic gold to build up a character using scribbled lines, finger smudging and plenty of unusual shapes. There's also a challenge to draw a second version, changing the features as you go so...
