Development Studies

In this task I will be showing how I got to my final illustration,  I will be showing my exploratory sketches on Mitch, the environment, Zippo lighter, cigarettes, revolver and holster.

Mitchell ' Mitch' Deforest 

During this I didn't take too much time with the anatomy of him, I didn't add hands as i thought it would take too much time and i didn't think too much about what I was doing and just sketched out what I wanted for him, I added a very light beard to him as a 5 o'clock shadow and gave him a three piece suit, i also didn't add the cigarettes on him or the revolver as I think it would (again) take too much time and detail. 

Environment

For this sketch, I did a basic view of a few hospital beds on a ward, I took examples that I've seen and included them in the sketch, the thin beds are an example of this. The size of the windows is another example as if you compare them to more modern windows there is a massive difference.

Cigarettes

For the Cigarettes, I looked at both a cigarette packet and a cigarette case. The cigarette packet, which is the top one, is a light sketch of how it would look around a bout, a basic box with a little detail in the logo. The cigarette case is a place to hold the cigarettes out of the packet and this is an easier design as I doesn't focus on any logos, although there could be a design on the front.

Zippo Lighter

My zippo lighter idea is very basic and very rough, the top left is focusing on the flint part of the lighter, the next along is focusing on the front of the lighter and how it could look. The bottom right is a side view of the lighter. Lastly, the bottom right is an open version of the lighter. 

Revolver and Holster

This is a few ideas of what my gun could look like, I included multiple different designs of the revolver, the top one is a snub nose version which I chose for my final illustration, the second is the same idea with a longer nose on the end and different design for the handle of the gun.
the last gun is  a completely different gun, it is a lot taller than the other ones with a slightly more detailed nose of the gun. Below that is a few ideas of how the holster could look, the examples shown are different, for example the middle idea wraps around the shoulder and the other two would wrap around the belt.
