The two weeks were spent defining the form of the project and how it would be produced.
The plan is to use zbrush to sculpt the figure’s pose and then model it in blender and paint the mapping in PS
The main idea is to express the relationship between children and their mothers
The main subject is an abstract sculpture of a mother
She is shedding a single tear
Each tear contains a scene, which I wanted to use to allude to the four stages of the relationship with the mother
Stage 1 / first tear: our mother’s hands are carefully caring for us, we have a close relationship with her
Stage 2 / Second Tears: we grow up and as adolescents we begin to have more misunderstandings and disconnects with our mothers
Stage 3/Third tear: We become independent adults and leave home to live in the middle of nowhere, but from time to time we miss our mothers in faraway places.
Stage 4 / Fourth Tears: We reach the age when our mother is no longer in the world and her life ends, but she becomes a tree, a cloud, and with one breath she becomes everything in the world, leaving us with nothing but a sigh of relief.
About engraving, as I have not studied art systematically
So this step will be difficult for me
I tried to find a lot of pose reference drawings to try to create as accurate a pose as possible
Regarding the narrative of the content in the tears, I also found some references to make a good narrative
