It’s been three years since I’ve been properly drawing. I always draw rough sketches with people with no faces and faces without bodies.
Now I’m trying to draw properly again, as I want to learn more about 3D and animation later. I would love to see my drawings turn into an immersive experience. I found some images that piqued my interest:
From top to bottom: @shycocoa, @tamtadi, @zenmaibook and @fashion.biologique
Making characters out of an object or animal is really clever. We may or may not realise that we got influenced by our environment, the nature around us and inspirations can come from so many resources. I believe that fashion doesn’t have to be inspired by fashion–I enjoy looking at things outside of fashion to get inspired. And it’s been a desire of mine to create character designs as well.
This one is inspired by a grieving set designed for life on Mars. I added clock on the character as time is one of the symbol of death and the thin pillars looked like spider legs for me.
This second drawing is inspired by vintage victorian lamp. I made the top part of the lamp as its headdress and the body as a fan/stick. The shape of the dress reflected the bottom of the lamp, and the butterfly on top moved to the dress. This is the first time I’m using and combining a lot of colours so I’m really happy with the result! I’ll continue this practice!
