In the second week Justin got us to look at certain styles and understand them. He assigned everyone a film or TV show to look at and I got Coraline.
I looked at some of the concept art and then looked at some of the shapes used for the characters. I managed to find concept art of Coraline's mum head and I thought that would be a good study.
Then finally Justin got us to use what we learnt to draw our own character in the style. I struggled drawing humans in this style mainly because I wasn't sure about what features to add, so Justin recommended I draw a creature instead. I decided to draw a bird but if it were in the button world of Coraline.
During the afternoon session I was a little confused about what we were meant to be doing, but I decided to look at my trait. The trait I got for my character was 'fragile' this first gave me the idea of a shy character. So I started to do some silhouettes to try and help me imagine the character more. When Justin got to me for our one on one he said that maybe the character is not shy but mentally fragile. I liked this idea and thought of looking at the joker. I thought about a more eccentric and manic character. The last three silhouettes didn't really embody this but it was an idea that I wanted to carry over to the following weeks.
