DOCUMENTATION 2. FINAL OUTPUT 3. TECHNIQUES APPLIED Sketching I used the Handbook Sketch in Procreate to do the four sketches for my storyboard. I go through the photography of a model online and in magazines to get a reference for my sketches.  Coloring I used the airbrush, acrylic brush, and blending tool to paint my sketches. This phase was the most exciting since I played around with a variety of pastel colors. Also, this phase took the most time to complete, as I had to fix several times through the process.  Animating I did my animation using Photoshop timeline after I exported the PSD file of my work from Procreate. I did a few simple animations in the background.  Final Editing I did the fi...

DOCUMENTATION 2. FINAL OUTPUT 3. TECHNIQUES APPLIED         Sketching I started with a pencil sketch for the main figure. The accessories and the costume were inspired by the ancient Bagan look from my moodboard. By doing research online, I tried my best to get the simple posture of a girl releasing a lantern into the sky. Background I created the background in Procreate. This is also inspired by the ancient Bagan city from my moodboard. I looked through the references online for the structure of Bagan's Buddhist temples and applied them in my illustration to create a sense of an ancient city. The reason why I did the background in Procreate is that I want to blend the artistic style, which...

DOCUMENTATION 2. FINAL OUTPUT 3. TECHNIQUES APPLIED   I asked for some examples of fantasy fairy tale world sketches for my background, and ChatGPT came up with six different options. I decided to come up with my own composition using a few elements here and there.  Creating separate elements I started with sketching each visual element that I will be using in the background. I began with a pencil sketch so that it would be easier when I transform it to line art in Illustrator. Then, I used the same tools that I used in Task 1 character design, for line art, color, and shadow.  Creating composition I used the golden ratio as a guideline for my character's final background composition. I tried to play a...

DOCUMENTATION 2. FINAL OUTPUT 3. TECHNIQUES APPLIED      Sketching  This phase did not take a long time since I used to AI tool to help me transform my imaginative characters into rough sketches. I got my ideal look for all three characters in my third attempt. I am satisfied with the results because it is minimal yet each has unique features and characteristics.  Line Art This was the most challenging phase for me since it's my first time using Adobe Illustrator's pen tool. The first step of making the outline went well for me as I followed our lecturer's tutorial, where he showed the easy way to combine and subtract shapes. However, I was struggling when I had to adjust the thickness...

I got to use the tools I learned in double exposure to make the robotic mask and hands realistic.  The continuous weekly step-by-step process of Project 2B helped me reflect on my progress every week. I learned a lot throughout the 5 weeks of the second half through my res...
