Children's Character Research

Below are some examples of children's characters that are already being used on the market. This research is so that i can see what has already been done and what is working in order to see which characteristics i can bring to my own characters. I have looked at just cartoon characters as this is what i am going to produce.

All of the above characters are brightly coloured and feature a positive and happy facial expression which is what i am going to use when i design and produce my characters.
