Drawing
The use of drawing would be extremely underrated if it was said that it is only used to create "art", as what is art but visual expression? The whole concept of drawing is that it enables another path to visually communicate and express your ideas, bo matter what they are. I personally find rough planning sketches to help me record my ideas. Though they might not appear how I want them to, I can still convey the expression and atmospehere through the concept sketches that I wish to create.
Artists largely use this type of communication in development, especially with large scale projects such as films and sculptures. The image above is a character development for a character in Studio Ghibli's film "Howl's moving castle". Here the artist has created a simple yet intricate collection of sketches of the character's appearence. These also convey the nature of the character through the specifically chosen facial expressions and actions. The artist has also played around with the hues to indicate the girl's mood. At a glance the images appear messy and unfinished compared to the vibrant and neat appearence of Ghibli's completed works, however this is because the artist is merly planning ideas to example how they might appear if selected and used for the final outcome.
Develop visual language
One of my favorite uses of visual language are graphic novels. Unlike a "written" novel, in which you read a description of the a scene or object or person that the author has built up through language you are instead presented with the artists vision. It may seem like a limitation for the imagination but on a whole I find that it stregthens the description and presents the audience with what the creator wants us to see. After watching several graphic novel to film adaptations it appears that I less likely to be let down due to the visual content I was already prepared for the appearence of the characters and scenery. Prehaps this is why film makers are increasingly opting for graphic novel adaptations?
The image above has been taken from Daviel Clowes' "Ghost World" which is an artwork I found particularly outstanding. The artwork would be black and white if it wasn't for the green haze that Clowes swept over the pages, giving the images a ghost like appearence and defines that it is the same world as ours but the protagonists view of it. Not being able to entirely relate to this green world left me feeling rather isolated, which prehaps in turn offers the experience of alienation that Enid and Rebecca (the protagonists) feel about the transition into adult life.
