Previously in my work Ive been afraid to add in the details and the imperfections of a characters face, I've been worried i suppose that the imperfections ruin a character. However more recently I've come to terms with the fact that not only are these imperfections necessary for realism's sake but they also add to the characters beauty making them more real and lifelike.With this in mind I will try to install in my character all the imperfections facially and in the clothing so as to make it look as lifelike as possible.
I have begun looking into the possible clothing for my character. I have done this by painting them in grey scale so I can get a feel of the silhouette.
These are some of the basic ideas I have come up with.
I feel that 2 and 4 can be developed further as they stick with what I want this character to be Youthful edgy but retaining her femininity. Whilst 3 and 5 have interesting silhouette's they are too male orientated and make her feel like a tomboy.
I will now develop these two ideas further.
I feel the first one ( as annotated above) has a prom feel and although I feel personally it is quite a pretty idea it would not work with what i am trying to do.
That is the reason I decided on the second idea to add an off the shoulder t shirt and from a previous idea trainers. Which do give the character an interesting twist.
This is the other idea i decided to continue with. As explained in the image the first image where I have added a chunky knit cardigan looses the characters figure entirely and ages her quite a bit as well.
I think that that the second idea is OK but i feel its just not that interesting. However the third idea works well i think she keeps her figure well by cropping the jacket at waist level whilst retaining an interesting image with the added longer front and rolled up sleeves.
Ive also noted that the jacket would benefit from being made from a material such as satin mainly because of the way it falls but also it would look particularly well when it comes to the texturing stage due to the specularity of the material.
