An Update

Here are a few things that I've been doing lately. I've started to plan my final-year film which is daunting but exciting, and I'm starting to develop a nice story idea (I think!) I've been mainly developing some character designs recently, and I want to focus some more on buildings and layouts, and designing a really well thought-out theme and style for my film pitch.

Recently at Uni I've just been working on the 3rd Year Film that I am helping with. I've been asked to make some mouth replacements for one of the characters, so I've been drawing some ideas in my sketchbook and animating some mouth movements on the lightbox before making them in plasticine later.

An update

Today was the first day back at Uni, so I was finally able to scan in all of my work from the Christmas holiday. I'm really pleased with how my character designs are developing, and I can see how much my drawing has improved recently.

I can't upload anything at the moment, as I am at home without a scanner. I've been continuing with my character designs in my sketchbook, ready for my hand-in when I get back to Uni in January. My project brief this term has been very broad, but I am fairly sure that I have to include 3 artist studies into my work. Rather than literally copying the work of other artists like I had to last year, I'm looking into the work of some of my favourite artists and illustrators which are all fairly similar to my own style anyway, and using a few aspects of their work as inspiration to develop my own character designs. I've already been studying Edward Gorey, and recently I've been looking at Elena Odriozola because I just love her style.
