Last week we had to draw 3 drawings of Long John Silver and 3 of Jim Hawkins. And yes, they are in gray scale. Sacriligeous! I could've used value more strongly in my designs, but everything is kind of mid-value because most colors I use are in the mid-value range. I find I dislike working in strictly black and white.
I came up with a theme for each of the characters, I need to work on presenting that though.
Here's Long John(s):
This was the favorite:
Although people liked this one a lot too, I'm going to combine some stuff from both of them:
And this is the first Long John I drew:
On Long John, I worked on pushing the two-sided nature of his personality. So I used things like the moon, tides, and yin-yang to describe that.
3 Jim Hawkins:
I originally intended Jim to be a boy, but this guy turned out looking girly, so I pushed that.
I like this guy's face, but other then that he's kind of boring.
I like how this Jim's clothes is different from the others:
Since Jim is the main character, he's the most boring guy. So I tried to make him into a more intersting guy, like a monkey! The flower one is kind of gay but I still like the sleeves.
