Mona Masotta WK1 Narnia

Merlin Llamas - Week 1 - Narnia Re-Design

Dorothy Young - Pacific Rim - Week 1

I chose the movie Pacific Rim, and tried designing the characters and the science lab in the Victorian era. I also wanted to get their characteristics down before changing their wardrobe.

Dane Smith - Nautical Narnia - Week 1

I've decided to redesign the classic tale The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. Instead of having it take place in a forested fantasy world, I've decided to place it underwater. These are my preliminary sketches for character redesigns.

Notes

I did this timed head sketch for my digital head painting/analytical class.  The main point was to show that I don't skip the lay in stage.  The lay in gives you a preview of your final piece.  From there, you'll just have to nudge shapes here and there to fix it but no big changes are made.

Since it's timed I have to figure out what I wanna do in the lay in stage and the rest of the time is spent on prettying it up and disguising my overall design choices so it won't look so obvious.

Keeping your head in this mind set will help you to design clearly.  If you ask the right questions and resolve the overall design question, the rest is just icing on the cake.  Much like George said.
