Studio 3 Journal Entry: Week 2

This week was all about sketching and concepting ideas for our World Buillders Project. As my theme is styalised Viking and the concept matter consists of Characters, Environment and a Building these were the elements I focused on concepting.

I began by finding inspiration material for each section and bringing them into Photoshop

and putting them onto artboards.

From there I began sketching basing my sketches on the inspirational material, tweaking when needed to make the sketches resonably original.

These were my first set of building sketches, all of these were heavily based on reference material and we went through them in class and identified some things that could benifit me.

I found this process very interactive and it was really benificial to hear the class's thoughts on my sketches and give their opinions on what I could do to improve.

From there I created this set of Building sketches trying to keep in mind what was said the day before. 4 of these sketches I drew straight from my head without any reference material.

I then began concepting Characters, beginning with some simple sketches.

I chose 3 that I really likes and made them into strong silhouettes.

I chose another 3 for variation.

Finally I drew some styalised trees from reference material.

The next stage will be for me to chose around 10 images from these sketches and begin refining them, eventually creating final polished images for the Look Book.
