Object Drawings - Lifeforms 1
Major Project - Reflective Statement
I think this is one of the toughest projects I have ever undertaken in my time in education. I have felt both scared and stressed out believing I will fail this whole course if I even remotely submitted anything subpar and thus fail at having a career in animation. Not helping was the Covid pandemic which has greatly affected the university, my mental health, my course, my family, among much more. While I think I am likely to pass the course now that I have submitted all the necessary components for my major project, needless to say there is quite a bit I wish I could have done better. The reason I believe for a lot of this was simply time. Some was out of my control other times I feel I could have done something to help myself give a better outcome of the project. I cannot help but feel that while it could've gone a lot worse my project could've been a lot better if I had a bit more time such as having better time management and stopping myself from procrastinating as often.
Hi Ted
ReplyDeleteI'm Alfie from the second year. I really like 1 and 8, I like the Stranger Things look of 1. I would recommend cropping your image so the binding and edge of the page aren't visible. It just makes it look more presentable. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask :)
Hi Ted :)
ReplyDeleteJust to go off of what Alfie said, it's a little difficult to see your designs so it would work in your favour to bring your designs into photoshop and dial up the blacks on the lines by going to image-adjustments-levels
Hey Ted,
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree with what Alfie and Graeme said!! This is something that will become more and more important as you progress through the course, although this is a great start. Think about now maybe taking a couple of these creatures and doing final drawings for them. Maybe add colour or draw them digitally. What do you think their background and personality would be? This might help with making your drawings come to life. Remember what I said earlier. Reality is not everything.
You're doing fab, keep going!
If you need any help send me a message :)
Thank you all for the advice. My later images might be lower quality since i dont have a scanner right but i will keep the cropping and contrast in mind. Especially when I do get proper access to a scanner.
