Create the following ‘pool’ of images from coloured paper
and your own drawings, designs or photographs.
● A group of coloured shapes, like a yellow circle, green triangle, black
square etc.
● Images of 5-10 figures; these could be ordinary people, superheroes,
characters from history or celebrities, depending on the sort of images
you want to create.
● A group of 5-10 background landscapes, for example a city street, country
road, mountain-scape, famous landmarks or the surface of the moon.
● A group of other random visual elements like objects (a bus, a building,
dinner table, a bunch of flowers, etc).
People:
I wanted to get a variety of different poses and different types of people. I wanted their activities to be random when sat beside each other so that when creating a little collaged scene it would be a bit weird. To find these images I search "people" on Pinterest and then clicked through each time there was recommendation based on an image.
Location:
I kept this simple and picked out some street locations. I didn't really want to spend too much time on this so kept I roughly sketched some places I thought could be nice to work with.
Working with just the above set of drawings the I created these two pieces on Photoshop:
If spending more time on this exercise I would look to bring in some random locations, such as mountain views. The set of people I had drawn would not really make sense in mountains for example which I think would be part of the fun. I would also then explore more fantasy worlds, or bring space elements in such as planets and galaxies.
I definitely played it safe with the backgrounds, and if diving deeper I would look to bring colour and other textures. That said, I'm pretty satisfied with the result, if anything it was a nice "sketchbook" session doodling people where I hadn't gotten too caught up in the details. I enjoyed sketching the poses, the clothing and keep faces simple in style.
