Material application, Timberman mask & props

For a short film project
A timberman mask
A sign for a short film
I made the Timberman mask & props for a group presentation. But these were never used--well, not all ideas work well, and some ideas just won't work no matter how hard you try to fit them in.  But it is important to generate as many as ideas first.

Visual communication, 3 drawings

Wireless mouse
Nipper for sewing
Pincushion
I drew the pincushion first. I used coloured pencils for the red felt, and Copic colour markers for the rest.  I didn't work well because coloured pencils and Copic colour markers had very different textures. I supposed it could have worked fine if I had only used colour pencils for this. For the nipper & wireless mouse, I mainly used Copic markers.  So far, Copic markers are my favourite medium to draw.

I made costumes for our group presentation on Mexican architecture. When we appeared with this custom, we received a storm of applause! It was such a blast!

-Poncho--I sewed the 4 different coloured ponchos with my sewing machine.
-Mutache--I cut out the shape out of black felt.
-Sombrero--I found simple black hats at Daiso. Using a silver lame paint, I decorated the hats.
-Maracas--I found them at Daiso.

毎週恒例の3つのドローイングですが、今週は「Hard materialとSoft materialが、作品の中に含まれてる事」という課題でした。ティッシュペーパーの箱を描いてる最中に鼻水が垂れてきて、とっさにティッシュを使ってしまい。。。「あ、形が変わってしまった!」って事で途中で断念。
