(4)First sketches and ideas continued...

For this character design sketch I decided to use some fine liner colour pens to see how coulour would work with my art style.

(3)First sketches and ideas continued...

Here are some more character sketches, for my drawings so far I have used pencil, fine liner and biro. these fit well with my scratchy style of drawing. I would like to tryusing some other mediums in future pictures such as paints, colours and possibly some computer art e.g. photoshop, ilistrator etc.

Artist Research: Moebius

One of the artists I wanted to look at in particular was Jean Giraud or as he is more commonly known Moebius.

Moebius has a very colourful and detailed art style and oftem creates fantastic and alien worlds (image 1), many of his comics are simply the panels with the art and no speach or words meaning that people must follow the story by the images alone.

His character and creature designs are very weird and interesting, he trys to be as alien as possible with his designs and much of his work consists of character designs (image 2) whether they be one offs, based on real people or characters in his storys. he also specializes in sences of land scapes and citys which include big city scenes (image 4) with huge crouds of people and

scenes of exotic mysterious worlds. as well as working on his own comic series and art books he often does work for magazines such as his story for 'heavy metal' magazine 'Azach Image 2 and cover art for the album 'voodoo soup' by Jimi Hendrix (image 4).
