Week 2.1 - Character Design

Originally when we got told about our inspiration model and how it can either be a character or an environment, my mind automatically jumped to character modelling, this is because I am interested in human anatomy and how the body is proportioned.

I was very passionate about modelling spiderman, as he is my favorite superhero. I began by researching on google images, the different positions of spiderman and how he is portrayed.

When it came to the tutor coming around and talking to us about our model choice, he expressed is concern as to my ability to draw well enough to capture human proportion, he then set me a drawing assignment for the next week, to choose an image of spiderman and try to sketch it as close as I possibly could. 

Below is my drawing of a spiderman:

This is a scanned image of my spiderman sketch after 1 day. 

I showed my tutor the drawing, he gave me very helpful and critical feedback then said, it is ultimately down to me, he will try to provide as much support and help as possible within shaping and sculpting software however it is down to how confident I feel.
