Alchemy

A series of drawings was created of the character using the free program Alchemy. This was done to help get a diverse number of software programs in the project. It would be interesting to see what effect it would have on the work and the way the character appeared. It could also be used to create a 2D model sheet of the character as seen in a lecture.

Here are some drawings done in Alchemy using the mirror tool. (A picture was taken every 30 seconds and saved as a PDF to show progress)

The mirror tool was useful as it doubled the workflow, however, the lack of tools like Undo and lack of pen choice made it difficult to create a look that was satisfactory.

The mirror tool also became a hindrance to some degree, as it was hard to know where the mirror line was without drawing a line.

The parliamentary sketches in Alchemy were not successful. therefor the 2d model sheet would be made in another way , instead the character would be modelled in Mudbox (as I am comfortable using it) and then the 2D character sheet would be made using the Mudbox version for reference.
