NCI502: Work Based Learning 2
Research
Sam McCoy

For my research into competitions and companies i mainly searched the skill set website to find what i was looking for. First off there's the Adobe awards and DerwentArt competitions where i have picked out the illustrator section where i could submit my own character designs since that is my strongest area.

                                                  

As for the companies the most local ones, which I have been able to locate in the UK are the British film guild where artists can be employed to design concepts based on the description they have been given. Depending on the theme of the film the company aims it towards whatever audience they intend to display it to. Whereas my second finding was the Toonhound website that has a huge collection of cartoons, animation, comic strips and puppets in the UK, which once again depending on what sort of project it is directed towards its targeted audience.


Apart from those two I have also looked into the much larger companies that have produced well successful ideas over the years such as Walt Disney pictures, DreamWorks, Warner Bros, marvel comics, dark horse comics and DC comics.







Also by suggestion by my tutor I was introduced to look up the Digital Arts a website that features projects produced through several types of digital techniques since I would need something new to help inspire my ideas.
In most of my findings it is mainly illustrators work that has caught my attention using both traditionally hand drawn sketches with the combination of digital uses from multiple softwares.
First off here is a collection of Alice in Wonderland illustrations made by numerous illustrators through out the late 19th and 20th century such as Charles Dodgeson, Arthur Racham, Leonard Weisgard and Helen Oxenbury. Within most of their work you can see the shaded detail that portrays the light/dark tones and the emotions of the character.  

Charles Dodgeson


Arthur Rackham


Leonard Weisgard



Helen Oxenbury


Mimi Launders animal sketches






Apart from the Alice sketches i have also looked up these illustrations of animals produced by Mimi Launder who has traditionally pencil sketched them. I could use this style to produce two characters to make them appear more realistic, plus since more of her illustrations are based on a description of a creatures name i could use this to my advantage since both of my characters represent an element. 

Proposal and treatment

After searching between the two competitions i believe i shall enter the Derwent competition since it mainly offers illustrators a chance to present their work, plus i find illustration more to my liking then producing a lengthily animation.
There is also the matter of producing my book that'll feature both personal and former work to represent myself; hopefully it shouldn't take me too long to piece together with the softwares Blurb has to offer such as InDesign.
As for my final work i have chosen to reedit two childhood sketches of dragons with watercolours to make them look more realistic and professionally illustrated. However if the water colouring idea doesn't work out i shall enact plan B, where i'll experiment with them in Photoshop to see how the results turn out.
