In the last exercise I was heading into this exercise and was already starting to give a story to parts of my sketchbook.
So I took and bit of a step back and I started this by flipping though my sketchbook and resketching quickly some of the figures that stood out to be with an inner dialog conversation.
At first my thoughts on “conversations” were far from “normal”.
I ended up going down a route of creating a story between a Man and his husband that turned into a dog once a month.
Writing letters to each other.
This then turned into a whole story plot of this man, being annoyed at the “plot” of his own story at the creator. Starting a character movement “characters have rights“, stating this poor character “Charlie” deserved a better story narrative from me.
I’m being honest I enjoyed the craziness of this moment, maybe getting creativity carried away and lost again, but I wanted a more “everyday” conversations so I revisited some figure sketches and created this more normal (boring) inner character dialog from these.
From this, I took two of these and made into an email and letter from the character.
This may come across as a bit wacky at first, but my imagination has been my friend from very young. I people watch and often give them stories or create characters based around little snippets I get into a person in a glance.
But, I never truly did anything with this, took anywhere or explored in this sense…
This is something I do subconsciously without thinking, now I’m creating something from this and it has been fun. Never mind these characters, I feel this also helps me understand my own way of thinking and it is fun to explore this side of me.
I know it is clear which dialog I liked and was inspired by the most (the Dog husband one)
