Updated since I've been drawing Yari more since the full colour drawing and her character design has developed and changed. Most notable difference is the hair. I initially did a more relaxed hairstyle to give her character more variation but i think the looser hairstyle fits her adventurous personality...

Yari Expression Sheet
I initially started by taking photos of myself with different expressions - i drew over these to see what shapes those expressions made. I used these draw overs to create some exaggerated cartoon expressions which lead onto the creation of a character expression sheet for my character...

Environment Sketches
Got to this stage in the environment painting and wanted feedback because I feel like a really struggle finding a focal point in an environment piece so It just looks all over the place.
This is what I was told via feedback would help my image. There is less in the image pulling attention...

Artist Research: Sachin Teng
I really like the use of limited animation in Sachin Teng's work. It creates engagement in an image whilst keeping the focus primarily on the artwork, not on the animation.
My attempt: This small amount of animation really brings an image to life and makes a concept...
Proposal Change
Change in my project direction. I feel like I was concentrating too much on VR and I wasn't enjoying the project, it was getting too tech heavy and this was stopping me from drawing/creating anything and I also found it boring and a very heavy topic. Because of this, after a meeting with Lynn, I'm...

I joined the Abertay Careers mentoring scheme as I thought that getting paired with an industry professional would benefit me in developing my organisational skills, self-confidence, presentation skills and would prepare me with other skills/abilities to prepare me for the working world in general. Through this program I hoped to benefit by being more prepared for employment. By being exposed...

Case Study on World Building: Tolkien
Tolkien's story world has depth and detail that is arguably unparalleled by any other fantasy series; to the extent that in 1997, "The Lord of the Ring's" was chosen as "the greatest book of the century by British Readers".(Pu, 2012) Because there is no better example of world building than Tolkien's...
