BREIF 2: Material Model
Mills uses a wide range of unrefined line in his work, particularly in his portraits, animations and graphics. my model employs this distinctive style using heat set plastic meshing. The material of the model cast a shadow of a shape filled with squiggly lines. this ‘shadow drawing’ can change depending on the direction and the intensity of the light. This model is mainly inspired by...

'Lights Out' Edward Thomas
