Entry 29: adding character

Throughout the summer break, I have tried to improve my drawing skills including creating more realistic, unique and dynamic styled characters, maybe that be adding marks to bumps in cloth including shading.

Firstly, I feel that it has a surreal, but a unique appearance that can be expanded to make the character more realistic, in terms of the body shape and the size using the professional way that I was taught.

Secondly, As reference I used assassin's creed as a way of adding a clothing to the body e.g. I am relatively inexperience to this process.

                                   I created the pirate design to to try and emulate these                                               opinions to have more free flowing materials for the                                               characters to wear.

                                     Therefore, in the coming days I will try to refine my skills                                        digitally, as well as traditional. Whilst considering the                                             coming year of the BA hons.

Entry 28: New Concepts

I tried to find a new style, whilst adding the new found depth within the characters appearance, but from these creations I feel that I could improve by making a full design.

Firstly, This has a space suit idea with a unique appeal to make the character less a-symmetrical, and more memorable.

The colours that I would suit to the target audience e.g. the visor would have a red luminous glow with others colours that would create a futuristic design that is associated with the genre.

Second design has a traditional alien appearance, which was the original  idea that I based it all on.
I have also incorporated a robotic element with some of face raised and some lowered e.g. the top of the head has a wired look to make this more apparent.

Overall, I know that I can do better in terms of perception, especially the alien character with the lenses, e.g. that would necessarily be 2 dimensional, but I feel that I will use this as a way of progressing my own abilities.

Entry 27 Perception, Perception, Perception

  In my sketch books over the last couple of weeks, I have tried to add depth to the my work.

Firstly, I had an idea to create a robotic batman design, due to the short ears I created a cat hero design with the use of armour, the chest area has a light on the torso section.

Without colour I feel that the character lacks depth, in the light and shade as well as posture.

Therefore, I tried to add a different stance, whilst taking batman as a inspiration with his gadgets, as you see I have used the grapple on the suit.

   Finally, I tried a close-up of the character,  I feel that I need to do more depth depth designs like these to make more dynamic images that are more professional.
