Week 18

Week 18

30^th November – 4^th December

I have been refining my hair drawings this week picking out characters and faces from the hair drawings and giving them either light personas or dark ones. It is all about how colour can tell us a narrative. Light bright colours are good and innocent and dark colours are normally associated with the bad characters. I have a range of these characters and I have layered some on top of each other and created more complex characters. It is very enjoyable and I could definitely see these being developed and used in prints and even animations. I have a colour palette that I chose from the colour drawing I did weeks ago of my face. I wanted to tie it in and the colours have all worked well together. After my tutorial I have been directed to not peruse the characters any more as they are becoming their own characters and it’s all about identity so I have found a reference in Harry Potter. The way that the death eater’s travel in these shapeless smoke smudges are very visual again dark is evil and the Order of the Phoenix travel in bright white. That is how my characters should be like my initial drawings where. Just enough to give it a shape a form but not too much keep them loose and free.
