So far this is what I have for my final piece. As this is just the sketch before I decide to add anything, I want to annotate it so far on things I like and don’t like and somethings I can improve on.
For a start I like the concept and the idea. I feel like the image is there, although it seems more like kidnapping more than anything. I do want to add quotes that people say to man victims or just any man that has had something happen to them. All in little quotation bubbles from the woman, I did have the option to do a man behind, but I want people to know it’s not just men attacking men and women but it’s also women attacking men and women. I want people to see men are just as frail as women at times- not to say all women are frail, women are strong and have been told to be their own women but when it comes to men, it’s to be expected all the time to be strong and independent and always be the dominant one when really, some just don’t want to be.
I know for a fact I don’t like the hands. I really need to fix them and make it look more human, as now the right hand looks horrid, it’s a mess, I guess the left one can get away with it, but I want this to be good. I want the hands to look like a hand. Everything else I can work on, its literally just the hands I don’t like, maybe fix the face on the man and have the ears and nose to be at the same level and looks a tad better.
I want to make the skin not ‘painted’ but detailed enough to see all the redness and bruising. When I get back ill find a way to paint over barely where the scratches and bruising will be, as well as fix the hands, that’ll probably take me the most time as it’s just not my strong point.
