Let me show you how I create characters out of the negative space on my page!

Design ideation sketches built on random shapes. Which ones are you favorites? Can’t seem to decide whether or not I want to draw environments, creatures/characters, armour or even abstract - so I tend to do all and none of it at the same time :D Starting with random shapes was a great way to start exploring new, surprising ideas.

so question: I misinterpreted the assignment and thought we were supposed to do an ideation page with a prompt we pick, rather than just harvestman. Should I just keep going with my prompt or should I start the assignments over?
I know there's really no consequence either way but I'm taking this class to improve so whichever way benefits me better.

Hey Scott, thank you for the extensive critiques. I did enjoy the spacemans! :) I guess I took out the most of the suggestion of using negative space on the sheet. Useful tipp, if one gets stuck with the ideation flow!
Up to the next critique video :)
You are really putting in effort in this course.

Thanks for the critique Scott! The assignment was done using procreate so I can erase and fill but thanks for the advice!

The negative space advice is a game changer, now you got me going back filling older pages :D

Man, this is a long video, but well worth watching! So much information, it's a miniworkshop in itself! Also love how you can barely hold back and go off playing all the time ("I'm supposed to be giving feedback" while drawing a spaceman :D :D ) - very inspiring! Thanks for putting in the time, Scott!

Thank-you, thank-you Scott. I greatly appreciate your expertise and commendation. I'll have to take notes on your insights about contrast beyond the visuals, among other things. Eagerly looking forward to progressing with this course!
