This is the first final scarecrow design I did and the same one I'm going to use for a compilation I'm putting together called The Halloweenies. My inspiration for this design was loosely based on the generic stick figure ideology, and the style was meant to be a combination of the DC Universe animation and my own style, all while holding a bit of a sense of a Burtonesque feel to it as well. The scythe was made big so as to offer a slight balance between thin and thick; also, although it was unintentional, the handle and blade combined seem to make an ''S'' shape, so it works out for me. The raven atop the scythe is meant to serve as a familiar - I figured that if a scarecrow is meant to scare crows away, why not have one that isn't afraid and instead becomes the scarecrow's pall. His gesture will be explained when the final compilation is put together and posted. This was done on 5.5X8.5 sketch paper in standard graphite. Please post any and all comments. Vaya con Dios.
Just some draft sheets for a scarecrow design I had been contemplating for less than a day. These are a good representation of my current design and drawing processes. All were done on 5.5X8.5 sketch paper. Comments, complaints, thoughts - place them below. Vaya con Dios.
