This week started with a 1-1 session with Isobel where she gave me some feedback on this weeks work and any advice for the weeks ahead. She gave me the advice to practice drawing realistic human figures as it will help me with anatomy and designing characters and suggested the website bodies in Motion. As for my work she liked that I had looked at the volumes of the characters and would now like to see them in more asymmetrical poses. This week we are working on costume design and hair design and so I would like to present these alongside the characters in pose.
I started by drawing out my costume designs for each of the characters as well as some updated designs for my props. I considered how they would all look next to each other, including height and shape language.
Following Isobel’s advice, I spent some time doing some quick sketches on bodies in motion to help warm up before drawing the characters in pose and in costume. I kept the duration short because I wanted to focus more on the form rather than the details. I would have liked to have done more this week but I didn’t have as much time as I would have liked to work on this project.
