So in our last lecture, I was speaking to the very talented Mr Tom White who very generously shared with me some videos. The videos were tutorials for how to create characters from scratch. I usually find this quite difficult so it was a real treat to find brand new ways of incorporating any idea you have into an artistic design.
The best thing is you start (or at least I do anyway) with no idea. Starting with no idea in mind of what your about to create means there's this adventure from the first line, curve or dot you sketch. It just pops out, a wonky square looks like an eye for some reason, so you add to it. . .
Before you know it you've got a brand new design of character or creature streaming from whatever looks good to you. I love the uniqueness of this method, everyone who tries it will invent something different.
I'm not that confident in my drawing skills but with the tutorials I have learned how to establish effective styles and techniques that makes the picture look great! Hopefully the more I do the better I'll get but I feel this is something I could really get into. Here are some pictures of 3 main stages of my design.
Anyway, just thought I'd mention this as a step up in new artistic capability. Excitement!
