concept art and story beat panels

My current module is focusing on coming up with an idea for a short animation. This is absolutely fantastic and I am thoroughly enjoying all the research and drawing.

Some character design I have been doing. I truly love designing characters, its so much fun getting into character yourself to help your drawings.

Student room layout

This is a digital painting of my student room. Working with a 3rd year, I was shown how to compose a digital image like this and in doing so, gained a vast amount of knowledge.

This started as an accurate pencil drawing of the room which was scanned. I then took a photo from a similar angle in the desired lighting. In photoshop, I created many layers representing the 'values' or tonal ranges using the lasso tool. Once this was correct, I used masks to colour each layer whilst colour picking from my original photo. I used custom brushes, some I made, some given to me which I loved using! The final lighting was added with the gradient tool.
I am very happy with this as its realistic yet not overly detailed (I like details so its nice painting in a different way).

Life Drawing

 More life drawing from my autumn term in my 2nd year. I really feel like I am improving and understanding human anatomy.

Concept art

Here are some of the concepts and idea I have been working on for my director. Obviously I cannot post everything as it is not my film but here are a few things I can show. Really enjoying this project!

Life drawing

Perspective life drawing

So this is what I have been doing most of this summer! Where I live, we have a huge carnival called the Battle of Flowers. Each parish makes a float and I was lucky enough for my design to be chosen. I did a float based on the film 'How to train your dragon'. It features a life sized Toothless with flapping wings, glowing eyes and smoke, a huge viking ship, a 10 foot harestailed sail and more! I did design work whilst I was at uni but finished the build that summer. It was amazing! 

Below are some photos from it including my original drawing and T-shirt design.
