Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde Assignment - MTS

WALTER CHIPWEATHER

Here is the assignment for week 1. 90 minute character study. Hopefully he is jolly enough for you all. I am a bit behind, but I will get to week 2's assignment soon.

First part of week 3 homework. This assignment was pretty difficult to simplify and make "cartoony". Caricatures are just not my bag...but we will work on it. I started to run out of gas by faces 3 and 4, but stuck with it. Hopefully I will have time to redo them. As always, feedback is appreciated.

Uhhh...not too sure where to post this. Sorry if this is the wrong location in the blog. 90 minute self portrait done in Photoshop.

Inspired by Stigall's self portrait sketches to help get some of the rust off since I haven't drawn in a while. Have at it and let me know what you think.

Week 3 Assignments

I modified the assignments a bit to fit our unique virtual class.

1) Begin to add more character, clothing and personality to one Dr. Jeckyll and one Hyde character from your silhouette studies. By week 5 we will then just pick one of those 2 characters to take to completion throughout the nine weeks.

Boo! Do both says mean substitute teacher Stigall

2) Draw from one of the attached head reference sheets as you saw in the video from class as realistic as possible, taking in all the info you can. Then put that away and create 3 new caricatured variations side by side on the same page.

Mean substitute Stigall says: these head sheets are fantastic reference for expression as well and practicing head constructions. Use them!

Assignment 2: Jekyll & Hyde

Here's my submission for Assignment 2: Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde.

The biggest challenge for me was trying to develop a take on Doctor Jekyll that would reach beyond my first instinct, which was, 'just make him opposite of whatever Mister Hyde is." 

I didn't want to create a boring Jekyll to contrast with an interesting Hyde, so I tried thinking of story settings that answered the question, "why did Doctor Jekyll create Mister Hyde?"

A few answers I came up with were: to cure a physical handicap, to punish those he deemed wicked, to pursue scientific endeavors no matter where they led, revenge, romance, drunken mishap, curiosity, and the age old standby, because that's what megalomaniacs do.

I spent so much time on Jekyll that it left little time for Hyde - but that's the way it goes.

I would like to go with a Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde from the not-too-distant future. Humans want to live forever, so Dr. Jeckyl is working in a lab to transfer his consciousness into a robotic version of himself that can self-replicate. (The robots of the future can look more human than robotic.) He wants to use a stronger model, Mr. Hyde, but the results end up distorting his personality into something monstrous.
