Character doodles

Ive been playing around with different forms and ways of drawing my figures. I think that drawing the base lines of the anatomy forst and adding limbs on, then clothing and colour has helped a lot. It has really helped me by showing how long the limbs will be before i draw them and how out of proportion they will look.

Unrelated note....

On an unrelated note, i watched Lord of the ring: Return of the King the other night, continues to be the saddest film ever, Spent majority of the film crying because Sam was crying and Frodo was crying and pippin and merry were crying. Then Frodo leaves and everyones crying and im crying and yeah, you get it. If you havent seen it then go watch it.

Alternative Miss World

We have just started a project that revolves around the Alternative Miss World arts show by Andrew Logan. the show contains a lot of wild outfits and models of all shapes and sizes. the outfits seen in the show are much like my

For the project i have looked at the different styles of outfits and i have tried to create some wild costumes for my models.
I have had a few ideas like making life size cutouts of my creations and putting them around my home town to see peoples reactions.
I have also thought about making a garment or two and printing my designs onto the garent, mixing the wild and standard mediums and having a large contrast between the two.

Some of my final designs

Tom Rakewell: This design is showing that tom is carrying the weight of the entire city on his shoulders, because everyone wants a peice of him and his cash. I did both male and female versions of this outfit because i was unsure if i wanted to twist it so tom was a woman or not, but i think im going to keep him as a man.

Tom Rakewell: This deisng of tom was supposed to show how large his ego was, depicted by the oversized bowtie and buttons. I think it was an ideal thing to get in that he had a large ego and thought highly of himself, because that was one of his downfalls.

 Sarah's designs were supposed to look like a scantly clad view of nature, and it shows how vunerable the character can be.

Sarahs father is supposed to be adoning the symbol of the rising sun, this was to show more that sarah's father is a foreign body in the story, and the reader/viewer does not see that much of him.

 Bedlam patient. This character was supposed too look wacky and scary, so i dressed him as a clown type character because so many people dislike clowns. spots are usually the correct attire for clowns, and personally i think the big boots give him a more edgy, uneasy feel.
