In these following posts I'll be summarising my developments since the last planning stages I spoke about, and give some insight into the steps I took to get to my current position.
From the very start of this project I'd known that Creative Research would be progressing hand-in-hand with the development of my skills via Computer Arts Practice. I intended to use that class to study and gain skills that would in turn allow me to produce illustrations for Creative Research.
1st term Computer Arts saw my focus turning to environments, while 2nd term was all about character design and evolving my skills in illustrative techniques, while still paying attention to studies into composition. I took the time to experiment with several different techniques in areas such as sketching, linework, narrative-based composition and final presentable art. The skills I gained from my endeavors would serve me in producing the final pieces of work for my Creative Research illustrations.
I'll share a few examples of the work I produced for the CAP class, which should hopefully show how my artwork has progressed in a number of areas from idea generation to final output:
My main priority for the CAP 2nd term project was to develop and refine my existing workflow for character-based art and hopefully learn some new tricks along the way. Now that the project is complete and I can look back upon my development, I feel as if I was successful in this.
Anatomy and style are two of the main features within my artwork, so they require constant practice and refinement. Going into 2nd term, I was pretty confident that my skills were sufficient enough in these areas that I had a good headstart and would be able to spend a bit more time focusing on different areas such as composition and flow. Hopefully this selection of images will give an idea of how my technique became more refined during the 2nd term.
