Did a couple of hand sketches then transferred over to a digital medium. I am having a hard time setting up a shot that expresses the mood and atmosphere of this village.

So I’m thinking of some kind of Post Apocalyptic, Wasteland Cowboy, Drifter guy for my “Hero”

Day 33 (Hero Silhouettes)

I tried Felix’s style with the black and white, I was using most my time on the little details that didn’t really matter. I moved over to Mike’s Silhouette thumbs and found this study very effective. At first it felt not so productive, but by the second row of silhouettes you start to see the character come out. Your drawings become more loose, and comfortable to try new things making more dynamic character silhouettes.

Day 32 ( Silhouettes )

The Book starts with the story of the Skillful Huntsman, and from this story they do a breakdown of what they will need to concept out: Characters, environments, vehicles, weapons, and so on. This is how they created the chapters in this book. The First chapter is Designing the main character The Huntsman. They start with thumbnail silhouettes and progress from there. They say how thumbnails are a good way of to get the basic, and less creative ideas out of the way.

The breakdown of my story took some of my time today, so I started to warm up on my silhouettes, and tomorrow really crank it!

so here are my practice silhouettes.

One month down, Eleven more to go!
