I thought instead of doing random drawings, I might create a series on me trying out to create a mini submission to various design/VFX/animation/illustration type roles. One of the things i have learnt from working is that it is important to work for a company whose values line up with your own. Otherwise, things can get complicated. While i don't have the skills yet to apply to these roles, Trying this out will probably help me in gauging how I will fare in the future.
Alliance Francaise is a non profit organisation that teaches French to prospective students. I have heard good things about this company. As such, i imagined myself animating a quick infomercial for them, using a character from their website (see first picture). What resulted was me seeing if i could "draw on model".
I made some personal changes to the character, (which is not a good idea in industry) as i felt it was more aesthetic, notably the hair being a shape in comparison to the hair being spaghetti. I feel a defining feature that is holding me back is my sketchy lines. While it allows me to "feel" out the drawing, the end result line work is diminished. I think i should experiment more with line quality.
