LAUAN401 - Study Task 2


Image Analysis



In the space of this image we can see multiple dynamic poses and designs for the character 'Cuphead' which utilises nostalgia as a selling point due to its 1930's cartoon-esque design. The character is sketched from multiple angles and sizes, each with its own expressions and emotions. There is no background to these sketches which gives me the impression that this image is concept art for Cuphead. This is also true with the colours used, the grey scale palette tells me this was created with pencil on paper, cementing that this is indeed concept artwork. The character is taking up almost all of the space on the image, which shows that they are, of course, the main focus here. We can see some lines drawn that direct the vision of the character, for example the sketch of Cuphead at the top of the image in the center, however we also see another sketch of Cuphead looking directly at us, showing that this character can break the fourth wall. The way Cuphead is designed in these concept sketches gives us a good indication of what his character is feeling, thinking and doing at that moment.
