Sketch book Space Design

Now That I have developed my Avatar I need to consider the space I want it to go in to. I need to consider my identity for the design. As a person I like busy places such as a city and I like quiet place . So in a way I love being in a busy place but I always in constant struggle to find a quiet place to find piece and quiet. So before I design my space I need to research cities a and parks.

These are some of the pictures I took.

I have came up with my final idea for my sketchbook I decided to go for the Monkey design because it as always been my nickname. I also decided to give him a green T-shirt because it is one of my favorite colours. Because the drawing was in 2D I could not imagine how I would be able to model my avatar in 3D.

Now that I have explored my identity i feel it is time to start my design Ideas. I wanted to go for something simple because I had to model my avatar on 3D Studio Max which a piece of software I have not used much previous so I think by keeping it simple I could easily produce a avatar.

Here is where i looked at an artist illustrator who drew portraits of people. His name is Russ Mills he uses real media to draw his images then he edits them on the computer. I really like his technique and his style I did a project last year on this artist and I tried to replicate his style but using some of my own techniques

These are some images that i drew of myself, I wanted to use different methods of drawing to explore who I am. I feel the best way to explore my identity is to draw myself.

On my blog I will show extracts from my sketchbook showing my thought process on this project and the ideas i want to put across my ideas on my identity.



This is my mind map and the mood board that I produced that shows my identity.
