Also, because of a Chinese receipt I found in the pocket of a coat at the Thrifty Store, I thought about the possibility of adding a narrative where she is stopped at airport security and has to put on all her clothes in order for her bag to be small enough to fit on, which I think may help to make the book more relatable.
What do I think is successful?
-I’m definitely loosening up my drawings and letting the character dictate what I draw rather than what I saw
- Although I don’t think many of the drawings are too successful, I think through the imperfections and errors I have begun to understand what the character of my narrative would be like, and how to portray this visually
- Really loved having the opportunity to just experiment with different layouts and compositions without worrying about how they would turn out
- I think I have begun to develop a character who is really able to set the quiet tone of the book whilst still showing emotions
What do I think is unsuccessful?
-Water colour doesn't work too well with sharp facial features, blurs them a bit too much
- Shape of body not quite right with reference to movement, need to practise this
- Shading on face perhaps too complicated to be used in busy compositions
- Scale in characters not quite accurate
What do I need to do?
- expand with media more- perhaps collage
- Explore varients of my character, and ways to put in more ‘authorship’ into the images
- Try more challenging compositions
- Practise drawing the whole body
