Art Think 8: To loosen up - an exercise

Something you can try, if you get stuck, is to just use one core shape for every aspect of your character.

E.g. Can you make a lion completely out of squares and rectagles

How about a hippo out of triangles? A bear out of circles?

What about a human? You don't have to use "straight edges and sharp jagged corners, but use the core shape to inform every thing about that character - and see what happens.

The character Design of UP! used this - Old Man was all squares, the boy was all spheres, the bad guy triangles.

Give it a shot and see what happens. It's really fun if you take a typical roly poly thing and use squares.
