I have included below a screenshot of my new learning agreement. I will be looking into how to make character concept art, and the process of starting a new specialism.
I worked on some sketches following on from the thumbnails I did previously, I am happy with how these sketches turned out and I think I got to explore lots of ideas. It helped me establish things I didn’t like and design elements I would want to potentially take into the final concept for this character. To speed up my process, I sketched over a reference image of a person standing posed and designed the character on top of this outline. Below is a picture of the concepts, and a timelapse of the process. Next, I went through each design to see elements I liked and things I thought didn’t really work. Effectively asking “Does it look good?” and “Does it serve a function?”, generally if the answer to either of these is yes, then I find the design element has potential and might do well in a final concept. If it doesn’t make a design look good or if it doesn’t make sense, then there’s no point in taking it further. Elements I like I circled green, elements I didn’t like I circled re...
When creating ideas for characters, I find it easiest to sketch out all the initial ideas that come to mind, I try not to set myself a genre of things to sketch to avoid limiting myself and focus purely on getting all my thoughts onto a page. For this I went through a few ideas, as I want to create a series of witches it felt right to sketch a spell scroll and a potion. I played around with some headwear/face idea; a large hat covering the face, a halo made with thorns, a large hood, a mask covering the face, a magical object in place of a head, a hole in the face and something concealing the eyes. I drew a snake, a crow and a death cap mushroom, my thoughts here was to have a witch be designed inspired by creatures or nature, or to have some kind of animal companion. For the body I drew a torso with a gap in the centre, almost like the witch's body is in parts, floating in place. I also drew two hands overlapping, a lot of the inspiration images I looked at showed multiple ...
