My first approach to this was playing
around with random shapes ontop of a simple figure initially thinking some form
of warrior but once I did the mask shape I was dead set on him being a
fisherman because of the symbolism with the mask towards a heron’s beak
From the concept of the character I felt it
would be nice to give him a sort of mood or a setting that he would be seen in,
firstly I quiet liked the idea of his swimming using his mask apparatus to
breath under water but I thought I would take more from the heron and have him
waiting on a perch that has lure lines connected to it for drawing in the fish.
Herons are the most skilled a proficient silent killers they simply stand still
and wait.
The painting itself the fairly illustrative
almost poster like which I personally like. I worked through it in simple
stages starting out with a simple sketch then going onto black and white values
then to add colour.
