Character Design @Chelsea CTE - Week 3 Day 1 - Anatomy + Proportion

 

Creating Order out of Chaos:

The way our clothing and skin sit on our skeleton/certain bony landmarks are all clues to what lives underneath. Nothing is accidental or random - and answers to clear laws of physics. How do we not get distracted by the outside, but notice what the outside is communicating instead?
















Playing with Proportion:

When to follow the Rule and when/how to break it in a way that still has integrity to a system you've created - Making your own rules out of the remains of the broken ones!








Using Internal Structure as a support for imagining Outside Forms:

How does this awareness support us in creating things that feel believable, even when they are not real? Part of creating worlds and characters to populate them is the ability to get your audience to suspend their disbelief long enough to fall in love with your story.






Today's Task:
Explore developing a cohesive internal structure (full body skeleton), and then choose interesting slices of that structure to render how the flesh/clothing sits ON TOP of that skeleton. Tomorrow we will expand on the character you create by zooming in on the anatomy of the face, so make something you like.






*Headshots due by the end of this week
