Sketch (cont.)

This is represent happiness. Using natural

to represent happiness. This is the

upgrade version of the previous work.

This is represent fear. It is reflect how the

mental patient mind look like.

From my lecturer Mr. Ben review,

he said it is good, but suggest me 

to add more detail on it.

This one is represent loneliness. Inspire by the

little match girl story. A match girl is silently

sitting under the dead tree. The leg with

window on it is suppose to represent how

people live inside their comfort

house while ignoring this poor

little girl. At the button there is a snake.

The snake need to change to something

as snake is quite a common symbol

of evil.

Sketching (cont.)

I do not have any idea what this

suppose to represent when I sketch, 

because I have no idea about

anything, so I just sketch something

out hopefully to have something.

This is represent happiness. I thing this

sketch has potential. Will improve it

it in the future.

This is represent loneliness. But this one is

too abstract to understand. Will either improve it

or completely change it.

This is suppose to represent fear. But it turn out

this one seems to complicated and gory, and

does not look like fear at all.

Sketching

Now is the time to start sketching.

The progress is a bit slow because there are other tasks I need to focus.
But when I have a little free time I will usually start to sketching idea.

This is represent sadness. The rotten

corpse/skeleton is actually a giant

dead baby, like a dream that is

cannot to archive and dead.

This is suppose to represent lonely, but I do not

know how it can relate to lonely. Not include

this in the final artwork.

Tryout

Doodling before jump into the sketch part.

The doodling is part of my "tryout to know how should I applied the style to my final art work.

Doodling out with the style.

Left is cross-hatching style,

right is geometric style 

This is suppose to represent "chill", but

this one is quite cheesy.

I find this greatly represent stress.
I am looking forward to apply

this into my final artwork in the future.

This heart is inspire by an item I found on

an anime.

"The Behelit"

The other doodling.

Again, this is also greatly represent stress.

Also looking forward to apply this style

into my future artwork.

Another doodling.

This one is too Tim Burton-ish style, I might

include it to my final artwork.

This monster is inspire by Edward Gorey monster. 

The hatching style from Edward Gorey is really good.
 Looking forward to include it into my final

artwork in the future.

Inspiration (cont.)

Recently, I have found more of inspiration from the artist I have chosen. Mostly inspire from Edward Gorey, especially his "Monster" and "Alphabet" book.

From Edward Gorey. This is by far my personal favourite.

Choosing a style

Choosing a style

After finish the brief, it is time for choosing which style should I follow for my project, since I do not have any personal style for my illustration.

There are two style I have choose, the first is the Tim Burton style illustration, the second is Edward Gorey style illustration. Both style offer a creepy feel to their illustration, but there are little different: Tim Burton style is kind of joyful/cheerful while Edward Gorey has a really morbid feel compare to Tim Burton style

.

Style of the 2 artist:

Tim Burton

Edward Gorey

Project brief

The brief of the project

This is the outline for the subject:

Basically, the project is about develop a student own style. This subject

is a great opportunity to developing our own style, because when we 

are graduated and working for the industry, we will not have the chance

to developing anything anymore.

The outline of the assignment:

In this assignment, we are given the opportunity to develop our

own idea and launch it as a real-life showcase. We are encourage to 

write our project brief. The deadline of the project is 13 weeks, which 

mean 3 month, the whole semester.
