2D Week 02 - Brian Froud Silhouettes

For this week's assignment, we were to look at the art of Brian Froud, choose one of his pieces, and make a silhouette of it. Then, we were to make 8 iterations of that silhouette with various changes. I chose this piece depicting some sort of fae.

My sketches:

1) The original, based on Froud's art.
2) I made the wings to be more like a butterfly's wings.
3) I tried to simultaneously iterate the look and the pose, creating a chubby, lounging fae.
4) Another different pose, with more of a shirt and no hat.
5) I tried to make the faerie as buff as I could.
6) For this one I sketched an unseelie - a dark, more monster-like faerie.
7) Digging more into the stories of my ancestors, I sketched a brownie, a house spirit that would help with chores like sweeping.
8) Next, I drew a leprechaun (though with wings, as I liked the look of it more than without).
9) Finally, I drew what I imagined fae looking like when I was a kid - a horrifying monstrous spirit that was out to get little kids like me.
