For this task we were asked to take one concept from our ideas, mine was the "empty" character, and to communicate this using as little visual marks as possible in the set format that we had been given.
I first started drawing the full body of my character, but then decided that the torso was not needed to effectively communicate the idea of a person.
When drawing just the head and features of the person I came across some problems; the shape of the features did not fit well with the landscape format, they would either sit awkwardly in the middle or take up a small space in a corner.
When I changed the format to portrait I found it a lot easier to make the drawing more visually pleasing. Below is one idea which I thought did not work particularly well in the landscape format, which I was then asked to change into the portrait landscape. I intend to consider format a lot more now, as I now understand that it is much more effective to plan beforehand your ideas in the format you will be using, as some ideas work only in certain formats.
