@Phil Development and research drawings - reflection from OGR

-
Following the OGR, I was advised to do a load more research, so I began finding detailed imagery and making some sketches of those elements as well some of my own ideas from the style.

I have also begun to form in my head who the three queens in the statues are. I think they are going to be the same long-lasting monarch who has three very distinct roles; the warrior, the royal and the carer, and each statue represents one of these.



Here are the rest of my drawings:

    So, the issue remains this: how to create that sense of older architectural forms being sort of 'over written' with newer influences? I think you want to think about these styles not so much being discrete chunks of different stuff lined up side-by-side, but more like chunks wrapped in different layers of influence - so one building that itself has older iterations still showing through etc - a good metaphor for this might be something like this:

    I wouldn't get too caught up in the design and drawing of the queens above and beyond visualising the space within which they're situated - particularly if you have a fondness for character... it can be a bit of time sink if you're not careful - let your conceptualisation of the queens help you think about your city and its details.

Summer project 2017 - Drawings 1-22

This week we received the summer project that is to be completed before beginning our first year of the CAA course in a few weeks time. The first stage of this process is the beginning of idea generation. We were given a number of objects, from which we have to create 101 different concepts (including life forms, machines and structures) and then develop 3 of these further.  These are the items that we were given to develop the concepts from. They are ordinary objects, but the trick is to create the extraordinary or unusual concepts from these. The following are the concepts that I have created in the last few days:

The Five Act Structure of the Greatest Showman - Film Review

Image
Three and five act structures are key devices used in effective storytelling. They give narratives and stories a pleasing base structure upon which the weave the elements to create a unique viewpoint. The Greatest Showman has a clear five act structure used beneath all the songs and showy costumes to make it stand up as a narrative. Act 1 - Childhood We see the challenges that Barnum went through as a child. It shows him as a poor tailor’s son struggling to make ends meet. It shows him meeting Charity for the first time. It also shows his father getting ill and eventually passing away, and how he had to beg on the streets for food. Towards the end of the act we see Barnum heading off to make his fortune on the railways.  Act 2 - Attempt One We see Barnum come back a wealthy man to marry Charity. They build a home together and have two daughters. Barnum is working at a trading company, but they all get fired when the company’s flotilla sink. Barnum uses the bonds for th
