Life Drawing

-

 This was my fist experience drawing a live model in the life drawing class. Although I was nervous before the lesson, I was also excited to learn more about the human form. 



We were first tasked with some quick drawing exercise to warm up and to also give us new ideas of how to approach a drawing. The image to the far left had to be drawn in 30 seconds and the image to the left in 60. This task forced us to be more observant as we didn't have time to switch between drawing and looking at the model, we had to do both at once. I struggled with this at first as I was overthinking the task, causing me to draw a minimal amount, however felt as though me second attempt was much better. We were then tasked with drawing the next two images with our opposite drawing hand. This meant for me drawing the images with my right hand as I am left handed. Although this task sounded daunting at first, I found the results to be better than I expected. This task teaches you to allow yourself to make mistakes. It allows you to get something on the paper without worrying about the results. This helped me feel more comfortable with the situation as it relived the pressure to draw well all the time. 




This is the first pose the model did. We were given around half an hour. I feel as though I captured the general shape of the pose however feel I could have gone in depth more with the shade. As I am not used to using charcoal, I feel as though I played it safe and was scared to press down hard so I wouldn't ruin the image. However by doing this I limited the detail I could add. I also realize that the head is out of place as it is bigger than the body. I struggle to draw head and so want to practise this more. 




This was the second and final pose we had to draw. I feel this image captures the pose of the model a lot better however now I have the opposite problem with the head that I previously had with the other image. Now the head looks far too small for the body.

Major Project Submission Post: Reflective Statement + Art Of

  Reflective Statement For Major Project Overall I am really pleased with the outcome of the animation. This is mainly due to me feeling that I was able to include everything I set out to do, all the way from the beginning of Premise. It has been a very long process, with different routes taken in order to bring me to the final product. At times I felt I had set myself a far too large goal to achieve and was unsure that I was able to complete the project within the timeframe. However I kept going and I am proud to say I completed everything to the best of my ability. I believe the key to succeeding in the completion of this project was good time management. Had I not completed certain section in time for the next then I would have run out of time nearer the end of the project.  At the end of the Minor project, I had completed the redesign of my animation story and characters and applied my ideas to create a Pre-viz which depicted the events of the second iteration of the animatic.

From Script To Screen: Investigating How Shutter Island Tricks The Audience

 In order to understand how to portray my character in a more believable way, I decided to look at similar stories in which the character is an unreliable narrator. A prime example of this is the film Shutter Island.  Shutter Island Plot Summary The film is centred around detective Teddy Daniels as he investigates the mysterious Shutter Island in order to locate a missing patient, Rachel Solando. Teddy is trying to deal with the murder of his wife and has reason to believe Andrew Ladus is on the island as well, the man who murdered her. As the film progresses so does the mystery of not only the missing patient but also the island itself. As Teddy continues his investigation he becomes more and more suspicious of those around him, to the point in which he turns out of control in an attempt to escape their capture. The film ends with the realization that Teddy and Andrew are one in the same and Teddy was submitted to the institute after murdering his wife. The guilt from his time served

Character Bible: Elliot Goh

  Main Characters Man from future  Names for character: Elliot Goh (E.GO)      Man is vain and has a lot of money. For this reason, I feel like he would spend a large amount of his money on himself. This could be by purchasing expensive accessories and clothing as well as spending it on his physical appearance (tattoos, Botox and hair transplant). His deepest desire is to be looked upon as a god, which is how he views the superhero who is protecting his city. He is very envious of the hero as he knows no matter how much money he has he will never be able to compete with the supernatural. His jealousy has corrupted his thoughts and he begins obsessing over the origin of the hero. He throws all of his money into researching superheroes and time travel and dedicates his life researching about every single sighting of the hero.  I want him to look as physically muscular as humanly possible, in order to get across the idea that this is a man who has everything and will try everything in ord
