194 Force: Character Design from Life Drawing
This image started off as a black line drawing. At this stage I am thinking about the
design based on story. I later brought the drawing into Photoshop and added this
monochromatic color scheme all based on tonal contrast. I pushed my idea of making
the mother the focal point by making her the lightest area in the design and placing
that light color next to the father, who is the darkest red in the design. I also cheated
in a shadow shape on the back wall on a diagonal right into the mother’s head. You
are now forced to look at her. I also left my palette on the side for you to see how
simply this is painted.
