Character Design inspired by the citizens of Peru

This is a character design inspired by the clothing and citizens of Peru.

Their clothes are very colorful and hand-woven from the wool of the local alpacas.

The women wear more skirts. Towels serve as pockets to transport children and food. The various hats symbolize the social standing and where do the women come from. the shoes are recyled from truck tires.

men wear a "Chullo". It is tradition that the father knits a Chullo for his son.

Praxinoscope

The praxinoscope was an animation device, the successor to the zoetrope. It was invented in France in 1877 by Charles-Émile Reynaud. Like the zoetrope, it used a strip of pictures placed around the inner surface of a spinning cylinder.

Drawing and sketching trip

This summer I made a sketching and painting trip with my fellow students. We cooked together,  made campfire in the night, made music and painted and drew a lot.

These are of my sketches that have arisen on the trip.

 And these are some memories of the blissful place...
