character research

For the "Kley Project" I have started to look into illustrations and films with giants in. One thing I found is that a lot of giant are portrayed as old men e.g the BFG. When people think of giants they generally think of a wrinkled male. So I have started to look at drawing old men.

So far I have developed a woodland environment that at the moment I am going to put a old man giant inside of . Tho these drawings are quite realistic I am going to develop them to be more illustrative.

Personal drawing project

I am drawing as much as possible at the moment over christmas. Last night I drew this with a fine liner. Next time I draw a face I really need to plan the length of the nose compared to the face as well as the size of the eye. I concentrated to much on the shading and flow of skin than proportion. I might spend more time on this drawing with more layers to make it darker.

On a side note I drew this on stuck down pattern cutting paper. I really like the effect plus it makes a good mid tone.

First exploration drawing for the "kley" sketchbook brief

So far I have been mainly drawing from primary sources. As it is winter there are a lot of bare trees and twigs. I love their eerie shapes and they remind me of Heinrich Kley's strange style. I want to include them in my concept drawings.
