The ideas of layout I could not come up with easily. I know I want to hide Meursaults appearance as he is the outsider and I want to keep that mysteriousness about him. Also I wanted to put the gun in as its essential to the scene. I was also thinking about ways I could conceal or distort parts of the scenes to point out the effect of the sun on the main character.
These are more quick sketches thinking about how I could show parts of the main character but still keep him distant and mysterious. I think for this image it will probably be best to just have his back to the viewer. This will also give the viewer the perspective of Meursault of the Arab and the sun.
Quick sketch of the image to get an idea of his stance and positioning in the image.
This was my first Idea of what I wanted to do for this image. I wanted to use the sketchy shading to help communicate the idea of lack of visibility. Also simplified what else you could see down to the sun like that's all he can make out. Having his gun by his side rather than behind I did as I was considering doing it as a silhouette to add to the mysteriousness. I think now that I quite like having the shape in the figure and having long cast shadows is mysterious enough and will work better in the other drawings.
I had a tutorial on some of my work and he drew me out some ideas of what he thought could make it better. silhouette's came up and including the Arab in the picture he thought would help a great deal.
After having a tutorial on what I have done so far I thought the main thing I needed to change was the continuity of my drawings needed to be stronger as they all seemed like separate pieces. Also it was suggested that I use perhaps a colour or two colours as a tone to add more depth and interest into the drawing.
