Week 1: Drawing from real life - Due to
unforeseen circumstances, this weeks character design class with Justin has been cancelled.
When Justin returns next week he is going
to take you through the new drawing techniques he had planned for this
class week. However, in the meantime we would like you to undertake the following
self-directed task. Please complete this ready for next weeks class.
Task: Drawing from real life - Please
draw 10 life drawing / studies of the 'real' animal or person you inherited for this
project (e.g a Giraffe or a Cowboy). Make sure the drawings are as accurate as
possible and pay attention to detail. Whilst drawing make notes about your
observations on a separate sheet of paper. For example, if the pattern on a
Giraffe's skin is smaller or its head than its body or what the differences are
between a real Cowboy and a movie version. The goal of this exercise is to
understand the 'specifics' of your animal or person.
In some cases a few of you have
inherited people which need a more 'adjacent' approach. Like an Alchemist for
example. In these cases I have suggested 'casting' your character/personality
and finding an actor who may play that role. So, you could combine researching
Alchemists (time period / clothing / who were they), the word clumsy, and an
actor who may personify those characteristics.
You can use either pencil / paper
or a graphics tablet however make sure that all of your work is posted on your
blog. Remember that this task is going to be part of your final 'Production
Bible' so please ensure that all of your work is scanned in (not photographed). These drawings are also going to form the basis of the next part of the project.
Any further questions or if you need to discuss this task please ask me.

Justin sends his apologies and normal service will be resumed next week.
Addition - In light of Justin's class being cancelled and now that you've all spoken to Dan and myself (by the end of today) it seems more useful /reasonable that you spend tomorrow working on the task detailed above. Therefore Collaboration Group tutorials will also be postponed until Thursday.
