Toothbrush Family

Hi,

I’m hoping I can get some feedback about the layout & composition and what I can do to improve this piece.

I’m trying to represent a young family with a bunch of toothbrushes and maybe other bathroom supplies.

It’s really bare right now, but I want to fill it up with objects and detail. Just not really sure what. The MO is that most objects needs to somewhat resemble a person and what they’re thinking in some way using subtle features. For example, that purple toothbrush is their daughter curiously looking over a railing.
I think it would be really cool to look like an ordinary medicine cabinet at first, but then you notice each object doing something human.

Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks!

Nice!

  1. Are you going for making a cartoony piece where the toothbrushes are characters?
  2. Or are you going for making a realistic toothbrush storage solution for families?

If 1, then maybe add some human features like eyes, legs, etc. to the toothbrushes.
If 2, then maybe design a toothbrush organizer that has labels for each member of the family.

Hey thanks,

I’d say #2, I want to see how much expression you can put into objects as you’d find them in real life, so I can’t use faces, arms, etc.
I like the idea of having a separate labelled place for each. Thanks!

Of course you can! Plus, a toothbrush with legs can stand upright without the need for a cup!

Haha true. You’re right I wouldn’t need a cup. I guess no limbs or faces is a self imposed challenge for this project. I kinda want to see if it’s possible to make them look like they’re waving without any waving arms for example.

The arms could be pose-able & made of a flexible material.
