Lesson Three

After designing the characters to a style I like, this is my creation for the Stop Thief! cover and character shee, along w my submission for the outlined work:

Lesson Two

In class today we had explained to us the positioning of each of the characters and where each panel must fit on the page.
This made it all the more challenging considering we had to fit a tight layout plan.

After sketching out all the designs of my charactersI threw the pictures into photoshop to get a further understanding of the layout and colour palette of my charatcers and backgrounds.

I did 3 versions of background on my tablet:

and then 2 on photoshop:

ultimately this is what im up to

Lesson 1

This class was all about designing characters and being sure to have expressive designs to capture the characters clearly.
7-8 year olds are a the literary stage where they cannot have images served to them so easily -- they need to have less obvious visuals so they can figure things out and group words together and make associations in a different way.

This lesson I mostly drew birds to understand what they look like, and took lots of references from Zealandia on Wednesday. I also referenced lots of black women and white male cartoon styles, as well as using a class mate as a reference to understand different angles of the anatomy.
