Life Drawing (12/02/2013)

Life drawing was really interesting today. it was great to have a different model and a male one at that as the male body is so different to female body's it's great to practice on drawing them some more

Unit 3: Lumens Lighthouse Silhouettes

To get more of an interesting structure for Lumen's lighthouse, as he is the bringer of light I silhouetted different types of lights and lamps, where I then mixed mixed them together to create more fantasy looking structures.

Unit 3: Mum and Son Silhouette

I've decided to make the time period for the son and mother to be set in the 60's I love the colours and the thought of a messy room with retro toys laying on the floor.  but for now I have the Silhouettes to know scale and the height between the son and mother

Unit 3: Lumen Face Expressions

I changed his jaw so it wasn't so pointed and his eyes so he looked more kinder.

Unit 3: Caligo Nox's Expressions

These are REALLY fun to do!

Unit 3: Character Shapes (Lumen and Caligo)

Caligo being short and large, then there's Lumen who is tall and thin

Unit 3: Caligo Nox's face

Just starting to get some character faces down for Caligo Nox I still need to do Lumen. I like the look of number one although I want to tweak the shape of his face a bit.

....number 3, I don't think it should have even been created but once I had started I just had to finish it no matter how ugly, I just don't think it suits a child story

Unit 3: Body Shapes

Not sure how I want my characters faces to look yet so I thought I would work on body types. I was thinking this would be for Lumen my magician first of all but I picture Caligo Nox quite chubby so the middle one is what I'd go for. 

Unit 3: Caligo Nox's Evil Dream Vacuum (Prop)

It's funny, because with the lights on the end of the vacuums that attract the dreamers from the sky makes it almost look like some type of space ship. 

I will touch up on some things later still not sure if i want to add textures yet but I feel it's coming close to the final thing.

Unit 3: Silhouette for Prop

 To create the prop which is my character Caligo Nox's Giant vacuum that sucks in the Dreamers floating in the sky and holds them in some type of prison. So i got vacuum cleaners and Silhouetted them

To then develop these:

still need to add more detail into them but was just getting the shapes. my eye seems to be drawn to number 8 as I like the dome it feels like the dreamers could be stored in there and you see them all floating around.
