Jack Model Sheet
Sorry for the delay in posts. Was ill during Christmas. No excuses now though. Here's Jack... a character from my Kinetics exercise. The turnaround is useful for animation. It helps to know the proportions. Jack has a springy body, but it's in three different parts; all suspended magically!

Illustrating the Mural...
My incomplete concept art for the mural, the poem was supposed to come above the steaming cup of chai and the last line flows out towards the bottom left corner where it splats.
The final illustration selected. This one was made by recomposing illustrations by different people based on the poem. The grid is only for reference.
Pictures of the process coming soon!

Self Caricature - Part 1 - "The Sketch"
Click on the images for larger versions!
Above: Me... All Black 'n Blue
Okay, okay. So this is a little self-indulgent. But I thought I'd make my own caricature and use it as a template for exploring styles and mediums. Also, I need something new as a display image. I was getting bored of the old one!
So what do we have here? Well basically, it's a blue pencil sketch with a permanent marker outline. The reason for using blue pencil (I only recently discovered) is because of it has many advantages:
- With a blue pencil, you can go wild with your rough strokes and work well with volumes.
- A blue pencil is light, compared to graphite, and so you only see as much as you need to.
- Last but not least, when you Xerox blue-pencil art, it disappears! That way, you don't need to trace your work -- you can just ink on top of it and take a Xerox or blast away the blue in Photoshop (which is incidentally the next step).
Cleanup:
The process mentioned above is Cleanup, where you get rid of the rough strokes and leave only the black ink lines. But the problem is that doing that makes your art lose a lot of character and depth.

But the fact is that this is what I'll be using to move ahead to the next stage....
