Character Design (2/3): Turtle

-

  Another main character present in this story is the turtle (sea turtle in technicality due to the setting being in an ocean, but most characterisations do follow more of a land turtle’s), who function as the communicator between the sea king and the rabbit due to it being the only animal to ‘travel through both the water and the land.  I wanted to put more focus on the sea turtle elements to my character, so I have simplified the shape of a sea turtle into two shapes: the teardrop shape which comprises the head and the limbs, and the ‘muffin’ shape which composed the body or the shell.  Photo of a sea turtle by NFWF   Then, as I have with the rabbit character, I analysed turtle characters from famous media. I have suspected that sea turtles would not be a common character since ocean-focused cartoons are very specific and rare, and my search had shown as such. Land turtles were more common to be used, with the rare exception of the sea turtle Crush from the movie ‘...

Artist Research: Penny Siopis, ‘Warm Water Imaginaries’ and Abstraction

She specifically mentions this iss...

Skills Week: Abstraction

-

 Week 5 was a tutorial week for us to learn different skills which will be needed in our subject areas. While Abstraction was not a requirement, I have decided to join as it was needed for my major project and may be needed in future works as well. We were taught on using different materials other than brushes to create abstract patterns including straws, sponges and cloths, and to work in textured surfaces.  Surfacing job with sand+gesso and foil+gesso  Before we worked on anything, we surfaced the canvas boards with sand and wrinkled foil for them to dry while discussing abstraction techniques. Giving difference to the surface that will be worked on can give unique patterns and textures which works well with abstraction.  Another surfacing job with acrylic wash  We surfaced another canvas board with an acrylic wash and cloth; we placed a layer of watered-down paint using one side of the cloth and wiped it off with another dry side. In my case, I have watered d...
