Week 7.2 - Character sketches 1

To improve our drawing skills and abilities and understand more about how character design works, the tutor recommended doing random character sketches as this will help to analyse a character and gain a better feeling of how to sketch our own characters for future purposes.

Below are my two sketches:

Unfortunately after I scanned my images in and tried to upload them to this blog page the quality was very poor and all the black lines were extremely faded; to fix this problem I loaded the files into Photoshop, applied an adjustment to darken the lines and then I saved them as a JPEG file.

This is the character 'R2D2' .

Whilst I was sat down starting my character sketches, I had Star Wars: Return of the Jedi on in the back ground; whist I was sat there I noticed that this character had a very interesting design.

Whilst studying the character on the telly I managed to create this sketch.












This is the character K-9 from the series 'Doctor Who'

This character was inspired by the 'R2D2' character drawn earlier.

After finishing the star wars character sketch, I though it would be good to sketch another mechanical character.
