  1. Perspective drawings
  2. Composition
  3. Value painting
  4. Ambience
  5. Color management
  6. Vignette set design
  7. Photo bashing
Complete the exercise sketchbook. Note that each progression is to be drawn on 2000 X 3000 pixels 150 dpi 16.9 ratio landscape for weekly practice.

I did the perspective exercise first to start up.

Then I proceed on sketching an environment with a temple as the focus point.

After getting approved by Mr. Kannan, I proceeded on using this drawing as my reference for making other angles. So I made 4 more.

The second angle is a close-up shot.

The third angle is another close-up shot but from a different angle.

The fourth sketch is a bird's eye view angle.

The fifth shot is a close-up shot from another different angle.

After making these sketches I proceeded on making another sketch and also adding value to all of the sketches.

Final Submission

FEEDBACK

Week 2
Try to add stones to the right part to fill the empty space. Change the size of the statues and the torches, and refer to the perspective (the further it is the smaller it becomes).

Week 3
Mr. Kannan said he liked the shot but removed the lines and keep it simple. Evaluate the perspective again (further means smaller).

REFLECTIONS

For the first task, it took so much time to do it. The exercise itself was fun but it was time-consuming. I was quite overwhelmed by the work, probably because I was doing it too much in the early stages. Nevertheless, the exercise was fun and I learned a lot from this because I get to fix my drawing for perspective and exploring angles.

We are also required to create splash arts of our characters. I first started making the line art for the characters I made throughout this whole module.

She showed us her sketch in Photoshop and taught us about panel arrangements, camera angles, compositions and etc.  After sketching several panels we then proceed to a lecture session with Ms. Anis. For the lecture, Ms. Anis presented us with how to make comics.  To startup making comics, we need to come up with an idea. To get ideas, we can get it from our experiences. Good ideas never come from browsing google aimlessly. We can come up with ideas by brainstorming or even mind mapping. 5 Assignment practice (building a mental library) Watch cartoons/movies Play new games Read new mangas/comics/graphic novels Listen to different genres of music (ambient/cultural) Try a new dish.
