August 21, 2011 : Sketching Interaction
I spent some time this week sketching an image with two characters interacting. I wanted to have each one convey a different emotion. It was far from perfect, but I liked how their body language expressed the status of their relationship. So I quickly traced a cleaned up version, scanned the image, and dropped in a generic background.
I did very little work after scanning the image. The scans were not digitally retraced – nor did I touch up either character; and while there are fifty things I would have fixed with the drawing, I do like how the image tells a story. Of course that story is left to the imagination: Who started the altercation? Were the roles reversed between the two characters earlier? How many fruit stands were destroyed up to this point?
I don’t plan on taking the image any further by redrawing or coloring it, but I might refer back to this image as inspiration for story ideas.
