Magnet Men In the City...








I have started experimenting with the idea of the magnet men infiltrating every day life, and transforming things from our world to look like them- (their sketchy, black, brown and white style).





I have drawn things from around Manchester in the style of the magnet men in connection with this idea.












Some examples:

Magnet Men Continued...


I have decided on a Photoshop collage approach for this project as I think it is one of my stronger ways of working and I need to have the work done quickly so don't want to have to start again if a new technique goes wrong.


Before moving onto Photoshop I have made a series of images (sketches and collage) in my sketchbook which I will then use to create 3 final images on Photoshop.

Magnet Men...



I am struggling to think of an idea for my next project, so, after being advised to in a tutorial, I have looked through my general doodles and sketches and have decided to try and develop a project around some little men that I had doodled a while ago, and which popped up a few times.




These characters remind me of the half blue, half red magnets used in science classes at school, so I have dubbed them 'Magnet Men'.
