Originally I wanted my design of the work man to change from the silhouette into a coloured character, but after some advice from my tutors and thinking about the style myself I decided that the character would fit more into my animation as a black and white character.

I decided this as the silhouette on the men at work sign is black and if he was to change into a coloured character then they would not really correspond together as one, so due to this it was a better idea to have the character as a black and white design so that the audience relates more to the character been the silhouette but coming to life magically as a work man.

Here I have brought my line drawing into Photoshop and coloured it in black and white, then I have made the character from scratch as a final design in black and white shading, also done in Photoshop.
