Ink Blot Excercise<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Ink Blot Excercise was very new to me since I have never done anything similar before. It gave me a lot of random shapes to play around with and ideas to explore. I visualized an old smoking man in the blot above and that is how my fisherman character was born. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have also tried designing a character without this exercise but keeping general shapes in mind as well as their symbolism. I came up with a little prankster granddaughter design. She was forced to go on a fishing trip with her grandpa but at least she has her cat to keep her company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sketch of the main illustration Characters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My Characters ended up contrasting each other with the help of shape language. The fisherman is big and chunky but is very stable and grounded. I have added birds that started a nest in his hat to show how still and calm he is. His granddaughter, on the other hand, is very energetic and a little more chaotic. Her pose and a facial expression suggest boredom from spending a long day doing nothing. She is even being ignored by her cat that is more interested in marine life. All she has left to do is sit around waiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspiration Board<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have collected a few images to help me set the mood for my illustration. I was planning to do a midday atmosphere and have collected reference materials not only for style but also for elements that would be in the final image as the boat and the fisherman suit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grayscale Study<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have decided to deviate from my inspiration board and draw a theme of sunset. I have realized that it would help to set the mood of a long day that has done by. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Coloured Illustration<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have stuck with a limited palette for my illustration adding some of the cools into the characters to bring the eyes attention to them. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
