Project 2: Week 3 Plan - 28/10/13

Project 2: Alternative Techniques.

For this project I have been given the task of using alternative techniques in order to create cycles of my character's walk. I will aim to use this time to show specifically how my character will move, and emphasise any qualities he has which may affect how he moves, such as his belly or his tail.

This week, I assigned myself to the actual creation of my character boards, now that I had researched and developed all that I needed to. 

Monday 7th October: I began to draw up the final idea for my character, giving him the final touches I had developed through researching other characters. 

Tuesday 8th October: I started to put together images in my initial planning, and enhanced them by drawing them up digitally in order to create about six or seven different positions, that would work well on the dynamic poses page. 

Wednesday 9th October: I digitally coloured all of the images I had done for all three character boards, this includes facial expressions, dynamic poses and normal poses for the main board. I used a range of colours until I came to a conclusive colour scheme.

Thursday 10th October: I went onto create a background for my character board. I chose simple and almost boring colours to amplify the characters on the page, and I also made my own brush to look a bit like mud or dirt, to blend in with the woodland theme I went for.

Friday 11th October: I put my 3 character boards together. I researched different fonts, and eventually went for a scratchy looking font, which went well with the woodland theme I had going on.
