Gas Mask studies

I decided to create some visual studies of different gas masks in different mediums and techniques in order to find an image and shape to use in my animation.



Here i used fine liner and a continuous line technique to try and create a misshapen, and flowing image. I quite like the shape of the first image because of the simple shading and bold shape of the image.




Here I looked at the idea of a gas mask with a hat. I feel like because I want my images to be simplified, the hate would be hard to depict when using as little shapes and lines as possible.




On the left, I created a design I was the most happy with. I liked the simplistic lines, and how it is clearly a gas mask. I then developed the image and used oil pastels to add colour in a quick and easy way. I like the colour combination because it is bright and fits with the style I want to create in my animation over all. I also like the sketchiness that is created from the oil pastels. I am hopeful that the colour pay off and shakiness of the lines is similar when I start to use oil paints on glass.

Overall, I feel like I have found the perfect shape for my gas mask image. My next step is to develop other images that relate to the characters in a similar style.
