Unit X - The Brainless Deer

After my tutorial, I have decided to expand on my characters’ background. Such as at drama class, where I was given a role to play and I have to use my imagination to shape the personality of the character.

 Figure 1: Sketchbook drawing

I have set myself a target of filling as much as I can with sketchbook drawings, then I plan to select and create them into samples later on.

In figure 1, I watched wild life of lion pride as my researching reference. Where when a male lion grow up it travels to find another pride and take over it as its own.   There is a feeling of power and isolation.   The lion is forced to leave his own pride. This is one of the reasons why in my work the lion is represented as close to death as he searches for his new pride to rule over. 




Figure 2: Sketchbook drawing

As in background I drew a group of lion pride watching the lion go.  The male lion here represents the head of the pride surrounded by lionesses.  The bushes allow the story to be placed in a number of different locations.

I added in the fox at the corner of the page as a hint of its arrival later on in the story.




Figure 4: Sketchbook drawing

This representation of two lions fighting was a useful tool to be able to see how lions' bodies move and how they move, creep hunt. This will allow a sense of realism in the design and this will benefit the planning of the final piece. 

Figure 5: Sketchbook drawing

I plan to draw a series of different types of deer and study the muscle mass of the deer’s body in order to improve my drawing skills.
I found deer are magnificent, especially the male with large horns.  I want this to give an overwhelming feeling for the viewer.  I am designing a unique deer, based upon many different deer to make this piece more original.
