Hellboy(s and girls)

I’ve been trying to conjoin the two disparate aspects of my work for a long time now, but I feel with this module I’m starting to understand how. I do a lot of analogue character work but they always feel unfinished to me. And last year I started doing digital work based around shape, colour and text, but again I always feel like they’re missing something.

I spent the summer trying to understand the direction I want to be going in with these two methods seperately, so I could mash them up together with a better effect. And I’m happy!

Block colour is something I enjoy interpreting, more so than tone and texture as I find myself overcomplicating things. So experimenting with these shape based illustrations that also have a hand drawn element has been exciting to finally realise. I achieved a thing that I said i would!
