Heely: Character Design

I came up with a story idea involving this boy. It's a story that will most likely never see the light of day, but I'm enjoying designing characters for it. I'm calling him Heely for now. He looks a little more cartoony than I'd usually draw, but thought keeping it simple would be a good idea if I needed to redraw him multiple times. I intended to ink him using Adobe Illustrator for the first time, but after about an hour's practice, I couldn't get the hang of it, so thought id be better off just inking the traditional way. Maybe I'll give Illustrator another go later.
