Fresh Snow- Character Exploration

Today, I spent some more time drawing up more ideas of what I'd like the deer to look like. The deer in the middle is what I will most likely strive for. I like the length of the horns and will probably use the antlers from the upper right drawing. I'm trying to find ways to stylize the deer and I simplified the nose to my own style.

Fresh Snow - Exploratory Boards

I did some extremely rough boards today to just get out my ideas. I am going to re visit this later and definitely make everything readable. I wanted to capture the energy flowing first. These were just done super fast on paper.

Fresh Snow- Character and Background Exploration

 I started doing some sketches for Fresh Snow. I did some research on different deer species and I am going to make my main character/ animal, a young male Siberian Roe Deer.

  Fresh Snow is a creative writing that captures the many perspectives that fresh snow brings to us and the beauty of letting go of our past so we can boldly take each step into a new year. I heard our audio, and a young stag came to my mind. I have not drawn deer often so I am playing with the design. I just love the Roe deer's antlers. They are small yet, beautiful. I imagined a park with lanterns and a forest and city with lights not far off in the distance.
