week 5

Thumbnailing for Comics

Comic for this semester should be handled either by digitally drawn or by hand-drawn or physical.
Brief explanation by tutors for this assignment task. we are going to draw 8-page comics. and he showed some examples of comics.
The comic was a new approach for me and it would be interesting to see how I go along. Hopefully, I will come up with some creative ideas and new methods of doing it. For further information I wouldn't hesitate to ask my tutor about this.


This is the learning sources that I explored outside of the class.

writing and developing a story summary.
the first thing to know with any beginning story you need to know what the end is.  this leads to developing some words.

Beginning with what the story basically is,
map
summary: anything that is going to happen from beginning to end.
From the summary, we can create some stages. manipulate character and their act

Later this comes to the plotting


Before writing script, you need to understand that does your artist understand your story, do you trust your artist

week 4

Class at drawing-room.

We did some drawing and painting on what we could see in front of us.  The overall concept of this class was to draw or paint from your standing position and outlay the perspective of an object.

It was a very good session and I was happy to be back at drawing-room. My work this time looked a bit off. I would say lack practice and attending after a long time. I need to know that the class is open all the time if we are interested to draw something.
But time plays a vital role for me, in my leisure time I get busy working and earning some cash to fund myself, and the academic journey has always been so challenging for me. despite this learning, new skills and knowledge shared by our tutor are always helpful and valuable.

I will be uploading the work from this class in the future since I don't carry a smartphone to take pictures. 

I remember the tutor saying draw something that you like as well. But I particularly don not know what else I did.
