Development of Quentin FaceChart

When creating my face chart for Quentin i came up with the idea of black ink running onto the face from the black eyes to create serial effect, as i was really trying to think of way i could create this fantasy, imagination, out of life element within the character to portray the fact he is just in Claudia's imagination. I was looking at my slow shutter speed images and wanted to find a why i could portray this idea- constant movement within the character i though of directly painting the smudge of colours onto the face although trying to do this on paper proved difficult as the texture of the paper stopped the paint from creating that smooth seamless smudge effect. When looking at my initial Pinterest board for Quentin i found an ink in water image i had pinned this has inspired me to use ink or makeup in this effect across the face to create a texture and pattern that to me symbolises a un earthly quality about quentin. Below are some images that have inspired me although i feel i need to work further on this idea to create an effect end result mixing this with Gothic Horror. Another idea when researching is the idea of line drawing across the face using this mask like element could create an interesting effect.

Below i have created a face chart based on this idea of line drawing onto the face directly. i feel that this is effective with the natural skin tone underneath and red tone around the eyes as it portrays that human realistic element but the black eyes and effect of the lines across the face conveys the imaginary, fantasy  of Quentin. Symbolising Claudia creating this character almost drawing him within her head.
