I really tested myself in trying to draw these simple diver designs, thinking ahead to how they translate on screen, at least for now I'm working on paper! I drew a few variations in the hope that my colleagues would like at least one of them. Drawing divers in a rather dark way is something I like and have drawn previously so keeping these happy was also challenging.
Luckily the group like certain parts of one design. Being the divers in the swimming horizontal position. The limbs and proportions being just what they wanted. The designs left of these were also great for front on view with the divers being thinner and having shorter legs. To be honest the only thing I like about these was the strangely long legs but I understand that I must compromise whilst working with others.
Following their comments I drew and painted the divers front and side on views using gouache. I chose to work with gouache as it's flat quality will give me clarity in deconstructing the image once on screen.
