Trying to put my new understanding of character design to work on some more characters. This is one of my favourite characters from one of my favourite films (I haven't read the book). I love both the original and the more recent Burton version, but being an 80's kid, Gene Wilder will always be the real Willy Wonka to me. For this design I wanted to forget both of these films.
I based it loosely on Frank Lloyd Wright.
One of the things I loved most about Wonka in the original film and wanted to capture was his ambivalence. I remember as a kid not quite knowing whether he could be trusted or not. I hope that my design has some of that quality in it.
If you caught my last post you'd have heard I'm enrolled in fundamentals of character design at
Schoolism. I always knew there was something missing in my approach to character design. Over the years I've managed now and then to intuitively fluke some of the principals I'm now learning with Stephen. However just 3 weeks in I already feel I have a better grasp of these principals. Now when I revisit my favourite artists' character designs I understand much better why I like them and I know my own process will never be the same again.
Day 20
Topic - yet more castles
Less sloppy by the day I think. A lot more focus on getting the tone working too today. I'm happy enough with these to move on to the next topic.
Day 17
Topic - man-eating plants
Day 16
Topic - imaginary flora
I had in mind strange fanciful trees for today's topic, but without including any clues to scale I guess they could just as easily be small plants.
Another fun topic today, but shading took up most of my time. Would have loved to do another page. Follow on
facebook to catch tomorrow's topic!
Day 4 topic - vampire bats
I had no idea vampire bats are so fascinating. They have so much personality and variation. I could easily spend the month studying bats alone. I also discovered a species called a Greater False Vampire Bat. How sad to be called false.
Day 2 - topic Australian actors
So it's a double post today, as I posted day one of my daily drawing challenge earlier this morning.
So I've been doing some traditional art classes
here. Starting at the top are my most recent exercises, and then progressing towards the bottom are the earliest. The first image is a cast drawing still in progress.
My break is over.. I am posting! Here's another Hunchback of Notre Dame inspired character.
Sometimes it's all too easy to tell yourself you don't have enough time to draw, or whatever else it is that you do. These sketches only took about 45 minutes. I'm glad I pushed myself despite thinking "I don't have enough time to draw today".
Total absorption in what they're doing. (OK..I'm pushing the theme again)
Here's my Illustration Friday image for the theme HIDE.

yeah, but this is still totally cute.
So sweet!
It's great, though. I like the composition and the kids and the feeling you convey in the illustration. It's very nice.
hey, pushing the topic is what it's all about. ;-)
Oh beautiful!
very peaceful...
Thanks for the kind comments everyone, and for taking the time to visit.
Your images are always so delicate and tender. There is great peace in this illustration.
Wow, I love how this image leads the eye around and down that slope on the right. Beautifully drawn, with the wind in their hair.
