Going back through my sketchbook, I'm quite intrigued by this little guy and feel like he has something to say and something to convey. I like the fluidity of his shape which will make him easy to animate in motion for my GIFs. I think there is room for development so will experiment with his shape, colour and texture more to find the perfect fir for the song I have chosen!
I experimented with a range of media from dry watercolour, markers, paper cut, coloured pencil, cut mono print and thick acrylic to see which qualities and colours I enjoyed the most to represent the character's bewilderment and quirkiness.
Group Crit
I have to admit that I didn't find the group crit all too helpful... There wasn't any particular character that people seemed to respond to more than another and my peers' way of drawing didn't stray too far from how I originally sketched in my roughs, not furthering my initial ideas. It was a fun session and I enjoyed looking at my others' characters and how their ideas had developed through their sketchbook - but, on the whole, I just wanted to get back to my own project so I could continue developing my character and storyboarding how I want the final GIF to look!
Next Steps
• Bring together final 5 characters
• Develop storyboards for each
• Choose a final character and storyboard
• Begin development on my first GIF
