After my tutorial with Alan it's clear that something's missing, a certain personal touch that I haven't quite honed in on. It's important that I realise what that is soon because without it I'll end up with something that's lacking and generic. Below are my first attempts at trying to draw form from function. I took a few reference images into Photoshop to see what I could come up with:
Some work okay but they are still generic. I need to put more thought into what I want from these characters first. I know I want them to be mascots for children, that they can take to bed with them as toys or as memories that they can use to help them sleep better if they worry about bad dreams. I need tp start really breaking down their personality into shapes and see where that gets me. Onwards! :)
Hi Molly,
ReplyDeleteWhat you could do is use basic shapes so for example put a rectangle at the bottom of the hover and cylinder for the top and build it up that way so that you could then take out or add on what you need to like I did in my last project (I guess you were planning on this anyway as you mentioned shapes) it will generate a lot of characters fast :)
