Transcription: Experimentation Silhouettes- Collage

Yesterday, I started to create some designs for my characters. The method used was a quite peculiar one, I have used cut-outs of magazines to create the silhouettes, of it could be a possible character. My aim with this exercise was to achieve a good and distinctive silhouette, only dealing with overall shape. Details, form and colour were left out in this early stage of the process.

To be more spontaneous, instead of cutting paper as I was designing the silhouettes, I rather used a different way, firstly I cut a few papers from magazines I found, then put all of them on the table and tried to find shapes that could help me build my character, at a later stage to fit the character i cut some more paper with shapes I couldn't find. I loved the randomness of the process, which allowed me to concentrate only on body shapes and silhouettes

This was the first attempt, while trying to recreate my vision of the character Erich Zahn based on body shapes. I'm particularly happy with the middle silhouette, but I also like some features from the other ones. 

To design the young man character, I found more complicated, as it is not specified how he would look like, however after some more research on the character I think this issue will be sorted. Alongside, the design for the young man, I have also tried to come up with some distorted designs for the viol.

Now the reveal of the original collage and the process used.
