Design 4 Media: Studio Project (Step 2)

For this next step I began to take various sketches of Em into Photoshop and applied some color and patterns to figure out what design I will ultimately use. One thing that I found myself using as a constant was the colors black, white, and pink. I added the touches of pink to help soften the demeanor of Em, so the audience doesn't feel that she is supposed to be frightening (just misunderstood). Out of these I felt that the first one was most effective, and the second one was the worst (which was interesting because that was my original design of how Em looked. Not sure if it's the sketch or just the choices). I used texture/pattern overlays such as damask, lace, and plaid.

For this next step I sat down and drew Em differently, trying new things with the character as they came to mind. I made sure to stay true to the usual aspects of the character, only varying things like facial structure, eye size, height, weight, etc. This is what I came up with.

Here are two character sheets of my character Em for my project.
