Film Noir

Last assignment of the schoolyear. Take a life drawing from one of our costumed sessions and further develop it. The idea is to take the characters we drew and put them into a setting, using dramatic lighting and the scene to tell a story. At least a little. I chose something from our Film Noir class because I could really see a story I could create with the two characters we had.

And definitely not because it's really easy to make a film noir story because all you need is black and white, a woman, and a cigarette. Definitely not. Don't be absurd.

Even more awesome boards.

More boards! These ones timed to "Poules et Coqs" by Georges Pretre. It's just a minute-long bit of fun. And antics. And cake.

Researching this bit of boards was maybe the funnest research I have ever done in my life. I had this (http://footage.shutterstock.com/clip-904564-stock-footage-a-lovely-layered-cake-with-white-and-pastel-green-icing.html) open in my browser for TWO. DAYS. It loops. Sweet merciful heaven, it loops.

Got into drawing some hairstyles for my fourth year thesis film exploration. I'm leaning towards a sort of shadow-puppet style for the look. It's incredibly fun to draw and looks...snappy. I don't know what it is with me lately. I must be getting bored of drawing like myself. Trying new things! Hooray!

Also, black hairstyles really look good when you simplify them.
