Made sketches of the main character from the front and the side. It's fairly simple but this helps me a great deal. 

I'm working on the design of the main character. So far I have tried a few types but I'm not fully content with either of them

I have started animating the first scenes but realize now that the main character is too sketchy. I will try to work more on him. Also his house is too dark and he gets sometimes lost in the background. Must work on that as well

I have changed all of the backgrounds and removed the newspaper texture

Changed the background style
