Background Test

Not my strongest work, and still very much in progress. However this is where I'm pushing myself to try new things. I've always steered away from difficult perspectives and hard lighting pieces, but this year I'm determined to give it a go. 

First Image is just the layout with the base colour and the second is where I've started to add light to areas and different shades of purple to the cogs. 

Lines of action

Looking back at my old Pose sheets, I wanted work on more exaggerated poses using lines of action to guide each pose. The more exaggerated the line of action, the more the personality comes through in the character. 

Below is some character poses I've roughed for a third year film called 'Withdrawn' (Directed by James Folland). I tried to portray a timid, anxious, stressed character, with a few softer poses where the character feels more at ease. 

Here I've roughed and then cleaned up 3 poses of 'Wick', the main character from Ticked Off. Again trying to show his personality through exaggerated poses. Next I aim to create a larger pose sheet with a more refined idea of the style we're going for in the film. 

3rd Year Commences

So here we go again, one final year. Hopefully this year I'll show improvement and a better understanding of how the industry works. Whilst I'm going to be mainly focusing on Producing, I will continue to push my creative ability and work across the board as much as I can.
Until coming to university I was very much a fine artist and had only ever used traditional mediums for my art. I used a digital tablet for the first time when I started in September 2015 and I've come a long way since!
Below are some character poses, hand poses and prop designs that I have done for the third year film 'Ticked Off' (Written and Directed by Amy Lucas, Produced by myself).
This year I endeavour to challenge myself in order to enhance my design skills and hopefully there is a visual representation over the year of my improvement. Watch this space!
