Preee production Lion king!

I had a nightmare about Timon and Pumbaa trying to kill me the other night so maybe I'll stay far away from watching the Lion King any time soon!

Pre production is going better since my last post, I still struggled with Simba a lot, because he has no recognizable features besides maybe the big main. I stepped back a bit for the last two weeks, not trying to create a pretty picture or a finalized one but just rough out some sketches and body shapes and see what kind of characters I come up with. I really wish I experimented more with different gestures but the last few days I've been watching the lion king dvd and watching what kind of poses they do. One prime example is that Scar moves and acts quite camp at time but still has an evil and smart elegance about him, so that helped me capture his character in my design more.

Simba: Been trying all sorts of ways to draw him, some I like, some I really really don't like, but hey...cant make an omelet without breaking some eggs first!
 Really like the style of the one here in the middle bottom.



 really like the one of Rafiki and Simba getting high, wish I'd drawn more of the characters interacting with each other.

Scar, since the last post you can see he has more a presence to him.

Rafiki: Loved drawing him, i want him to look wise but at the same time he is still a druggy.


Ex graduate Chris Phillips came in wednesday to show us how to draw on photoshop, he asked us to draw a character quickly, so I thought I might aswel go with my project so I drew Rafiki. I don't think it's the best, but I gave it my best shot and it's a learning curve so next week hopefully I'll improve.




 Some stylistic designs, using shapes, colour, photoshop and illustrator. Really like the colour choice with Timon.
