For a while I was still very unsure of what I wanted to do with the story so I thought it'd be good to take a break and work on some concept work or at least practice drawing since it seems like an age since I drew things properly. It's terrible!
To start with I looked through an old hairstyle magazine to look for pictures of people - these magazines are very useful reference!From some chosen photos I made some line drawings in a stylised manner hoping to create a cool visual style for my final film and at the same time, learn to draw women's faces since my film is so character-driven.
First, I simply used a pencil or pen to do rough sketchy drawings - I'm rather pleased :)
Then, I decided to be a bit more WILD and got out my paintbrush and black ink - I intended to use a heavy brush stroke style after all! Here, the shape of the hair and the direction of the locks were all done very quickly with brush and ink then the facial details were added with pen. I like this style but I'm not sure I can emulate it as effectively digitally.

Stay tuned for character designs!
