Piece 1
Materials:
My tablet and procreate/ Clipstudio Paint
Process I started by making thumbnails and thinking of how the characters would look. I found my master artist during this point and wanted to paint like him, (which didn't happen) my idea was to implement random items I associate with fear and go from there. It has been a tough process coming up with the items surrounding, coming up the actual meaning of things, I colored it all then had to erase it all to change values but adding back colors is hard, and I have to render out some more stuff. For the meanings of things, I put flowers in the painting as more of the rational fear of being scared of someone forcing things on the body. I have a deer as that's the animal I first think of when I think of fear, I have a door that leads to nothing, it's more irrational, as I am terrified of dark rooms and I run past them. The mirror is because I'm scared of how people look at me, and how they perceive me. there is a scale weighing a toilet and a bag of money, the balance of rational and irrational. The bathrooms are scary... I also am putting in windows as they are scary to look out at night, especially in the forest. the hands are reaching out, they remind me of the dead or maybe they are the people who let fear overcome them, trying to reach out. The cliff is because falling off cliffs is scary, I'm scared when my mom drives past one (only ocean ones), and for the fear of heights.
Ideas
the photo in the middle is of me coming up with different compositions and trying decide on something. The image on the left is me making ref for the drawing but I ended up changing the holding a bit. On the right is practicing gesture drawing, I sturggle with things being still and non lifelike.
