Creative Treatment

Proposal

I want to create a wide range of character designs varying from steampunk, mythical, high fashion and everything in between. I will be working on paper to start off with and then move on to digital for the final production. For the digital side I will be using photoshop. 

UPDATE (18/10/21): I have decided to collaborate with one of my close friends who is writing a book and I've asked if I could do some character designs for the book. The characters will have different looks as there is a change of scenery during the story and one character is mythical so will have two different looks, one mythical and one human. I'm still going to use paper for the original sketch and photoshop for the digital drawing and experiment with different brushes for the colouring and shading.

This is my moodboard, I chose the drawings of eyes to help me find different expressions and styles to see which I preferred. The picture of different head angles is to help me with proportions, if these don't work I will be looking for tutorials to help me the colour schemes are to help me with colouring my characters and the bottom left image is an anime that inspired me to get into character design, I loved the art style and I started reading the manga so I could try and recreate the art. I think I'll mostly focus on the steampunk colour palette as I think the characters I'm drawing wont be to bothered by how pretty or colourful their outfits are and think it fits the aesthetic of the book more.
