My preparatory sketches for my Jack the Ripper environment consisted of me thumbnailing ideas in terms of composition, tonal range and line work.
From experimenting
with these sketches I knew I wanted a distinct value range that showed a of
contrast- I wanted there to be faded lights against deep darks. Having this
would make for a clearer silhouettes in an environment that could be quite dark
and brooding. Strong contrasts coupled with a composition that is quite tunnelled
(Like looking straight down a street) could make for a better focal point as
your eyes will be guided. In regards to linework I wanted to see were details
could be brought in to the landscape and thought roof tiles and street objects
with varying line weight could bring some interesting details to the piece.
