This morning I had my final meeting with my
supervisor before the holiday break. We discussed my next steps in my project
and set out goals to be completed before the next semester.
The plan is to take 4-6 of the mirrored ink
images and render them out into creature head studies. Once that is completed,
start creating sketch concepts of the body by using the 30 second sketching I
did for the animal drawings. Any of the head studies that didn’t work out too
well, will be redrawn as a different part of the body, rather than the head. If
it works out, move onto the 30 second sketch stage like the others. In the end
I should have a small collection of creature head figures with basic body concepts.
Other things to work on during the holidays
are keeping on top of my blog, completing the ethics form and reading some
books on film and creature design. I have ordered Terryl Whitlatch’s two new
books, Principles of Creature Design: Creating Imaginary Animals and Science of
Creature design: Understanding Animal Anatomy. Another book I’ve ordered is
Evolution in Action: Natural History through Spectacular Skeletons by
Jean-Baptiste de Panafieu. I will be reading these books, taking notes and
quotes on what I find interesting or important to my project.
Overall, I have a lot of work to complete
over the holidays, but I am excited to get back into drawing after all the
written work on the other parts of my coursework.
