Just moving on with the char development, here is my first attempt at my mandrill character in colour - the picture doesnt really do it justice, but i think it will fit in nicely with my pastelly jungle backgrounds!
Altho i think its missing something - it doesnt seem as good as my toucan :o/
i think i just need to pt it in context, then i think it mite look better?
ReplyDeletehmm..
I think your mandrill is far better than your toucan. I immediately sensed a connection with your character, his mona lisa smile, curiously cocky eyes, and resigned arm pose - what's this mandrill been up to, one might ask?
ReplyDeletereally? i thought it looked a bit flat - i think maybe its because its quite far away from what im used to! thanks anyway, pushing on with the work!!
ReplyDeleteyeah i agree with chiu on this one, i like the resolution of your toucan drawings but this mandrill has more of a personality that encourages more inquisition from the reader. im sensing a slightly camp vibe from this one lol looks like its eyeing someone up.
ReplyDeleteu said it doesnt look as good as your toucan, i think thats because the toucan is more resolved, maybe the odd little thing just for example the hands and feet look a bit two dimensional and not as sharp as the toucan??? might just be me. love the overall drawing though :) x
thanks milan! im glad everyone is thinking that this movement in style is working, im looking to develop much more in time for september!
ReplyDeletegreat stuff really different from your usual stuff :) i agree with the others this does have more character then then tucan and defines more of a style i prefer the roughness to this other then the neat coloring of the tucan.
