So for our bfa class, we read George Orwell's
Animal Farm. If you're not familiar with the story, it's pretty much about a farm that gets taken over by the animals that inhabit it. From this story, we have to do character designs for 3 animals: an equine, a pig, and one of our choice. On top of that, they had to be drawn in a style based off of an artist who is not in the animation/film industry. I chose to follow Arthur Rackham, not only for his distinct style, but also because I felt that it would be the most challenging. And that's exactly what it turned out to be--sheer madness!!
These are just a few of the drawings. A TON of preliminary drawing were done to get to this stage. At one point, Bunny(instructor) made us redraw our previous one's because the entire class's work was just that disappointing! Even now, I'm still trying to get a grasp of Rackham's style...and it's gonna take another ton of drawings to eventually make that progress. Enjoy!
Back to work!!
