Entry 20- Other Characters
This lesson, I finished the remainder of my characters.
Drawing the lover was harder than I thought, as I didn't want the lover to appear with a gender. I wanted the gender to be the audience's choice. I wanted it to be the audience's choice as some audiences that were watching my social awareness campaign may be gay, bi or etc, and I wanted to keep the option open for my animation so that my audiences can relate.
To start off, I drew a fat stick man like I always did, but this time, I free deformed it a little to make it match the image that I was going for. Sometimes the legs were too short, and sometimes the lover looked too irregular. After that, moving onto the technical stuff, I had troubles on choosing what the lover would look like, to not offend anyone. For the hair, I wanted to make it short, since nowadays, it's common for all genders to have short hair. Since I really didn't know what the back of a short hair would look like, I had to search up back view of short hair on google to use as a reference. When drawing the shave, I turned down the density of my pen, to give that clean undercut hairstyle with a gradation. For the clothes, I referenced one of the clothes that I owned, as it looked as if something both genders would wear. I shaded it with lines.
I really didn't want to make the lover just shake its shoulders, so this time, I decided to add in an animation where the hand moved upward towards its face. When doing this, I faced a lot of technical issues, as some layers blockers the others. After drawing the hands, I had to duplicate its layer everytime when it moved, as I had to erase some parts of the hand so that it didn't block the girls back for some irregular reason. I duplicated the layer just in case something went wrong. Every time I moved the hand, I saved it as a JPG, numbering them off as Lover 1, Lover 2 ... Etc. Like always, at the end, I selected the upper half of her body, stretched it a little upwards, and saved it as Lover 22.
For the Dog, I drew it like always, opening up the door background, drawing it on the 2nd layer. This time, I went straight into it, as I just wanted a fluffy looking dog. That meant that I didn't have to make the dog look perfect. For its tail, however, I drew it on another layer, as I wanted to make it wag. I shaded it with lines. To make it wag, I selected it, rotated it and then saved it as Dog 1 and then repeated the process until I deemed that I had enough movement for my dog wagging.
I'd also like the mention that I hid all the faces for the affected people in my animation as I didn't want to force an imagine of the characters onto the person who's watching the animation. I wanted them to really relate to it, and imagine their own mums, dads, brothers and lovers on that stop, weeping for them to come back from the dead.
That's all that I've done this lesson.
