#2. A Character A Day - Day 7 HyeonSook

Final day of my second seven-day project: develop a character a day!
Today I took a break from Pierce and made a rough drawing and basic concepts for the main character in a completely different project.

How nice to just pick up a .7mm pen and draw your way without any means to correct previous lines or ideas! Yes, it creates a rather crude (??) form, but I kinda missed doing things this way.


...After making a drawing like this, which took me 3.5hrs...
Pen is definitely quicker, and as long as I get the basic idea, no prob. ;)



So his name is HyeonSook (현숙). Haven't made his surname yet. Maybe he usually goes with his given name.
HyeonSook is an extremely unusual name for a guy in his twenties or early thirties. Actually it is for women, and it is kinda old-fashioned as well. It was the 10th most popular name in 1958 and 1968 in Korea. 


(So you see I am the world's greatest colorist ever... fufu)

He looks placid and ordinary-looking. 
He wears vintage (I mean, kinda timeless) check shirts and a worn pinkish- jumper that looks rather.. vintage or ridiculous.....
Actually, you know what, I just realized that I might have gotten the idea of a pinkish jumper from Drive (2011), where Ryan Gosling wears that kind of jacket. All right, I'll give HyeonSook something different then. :) He can go green. Or orange. Or fuschia. Or lime. OH, LIME.



A couple of other pictures: 


A note where I calculated what genres I create. (from 2010 till today)
Thrillers - 36
Drama/psychology - 21
Fantasy - 19
Crime - 18
Romance - 11
Family - 11
Etc. - 5

So..... it seems I love thrillers, huh?
HyeonSook is in a fantasy drama, not a thriller, though. :)


And my room last night. 
Full of notes and pictures.
But not quite so full of them yet.
I need to create more and more stories! :)
