The Four

The following are the four subjects + descriptions. I had an idea to focus on each individual characters' reaction to their environment. The street performer sorta blends into the environment. The tourist is excited about the environment. The skater girl is used to the environment. The police officer works in the environment. I'm hoping there is enough diversity in these four characters, because diversity is probably the most important thing.



1. STREET PERFORMER [aka phantom]
- towers over people/tourists
- two-faced [he only likes you if you take a picture with him]
- mysterious but friendly
- knowledgable about the city
- persistent
- territorial with other performers
- stands and waits
- costume, mask, gloves, boots
- lanky posture

2. TOURIST
- camera at hand
- either heavy set or short and skinny
- fanny pack or giant backpack
- takes picture of floor/star
- foreign
- tired from walking with too much stuff
- very attentive
- rushing from place to place
- stop. walk. snap. repeat.

3. SKATER GIRL
- gritty
- no worries
- dark clothing
- fluid motion/very fast
- hair in face/wind
- self-centered
- risk taker
-skates through crowd
- laid back/very chill

4. POLICE OFFICER
- all business/serious
- strong build
- heavy set? donuts?
- parked at hollywood/on patrol
- high profile area
- veteran on the force
- buzzcut/ex-marine?
- alert
- relaxed
- experienced

I'll post developed sketches soon. I need suggestions for poses for each or ideas for alternative characters and any other feedback about anything else.
