The Difference Between Magical Hats

Wizard

Practising Wizard faces.




Cliche Motifs of Wizards and Witches:


A raven can be seen as a symbol of a wizard just as a cat and a broomstick are very cliche extensions of a witch. I think it could be fun to play on these.


The mix of textures and colours for this above image do not mix so successfully together, but perhaps something for the shape and form of its head and expression 


I am really please with the textures of this bird drawing, the contrast of the black brush pen outline and the grainy look of the pencil build up a interesting and fitting feeling raven. I think that this kind of texture can look really good in animation as it creates more of a sense of movement and tangibility.



Below is my beginning attempt at being playful with  switching up the motifs and their cliques, like trying to show a witches cat wearing a wizards hat. I like to keep this work leaning towards the humours side of things, as that is essentially one of the biggest themes in Terry Pratchetts work.
