This unit has started something I seem to have little control over. I am VERY inspired and seem “narrative” as a whole is somewhat of a creative muse to me, giving an much needed outlet to the way I want to express myself. Conker falling I created a mini story board, first is the basicContinue reading “Exercise 4:4 Using basic Narrative Structure”

Before I wanted to illustrate stories, even when knowing I couldn’t write them I started plotting my stories from a young age. Even taking some creative writing classes and always told my imagination has been one of my strongest skills. What I’ve lacked is ways to tell these stories, even with some form of structureContinue reading “Research Task 4:3: Story Structures”

In the last exercise I was heading into this exercise and was already starting to give a story to parts of my sketchbook. So I took and bit of a step back and I started this by flipping though my sketchbook and resketching quickly some of the figures that stood out to be with anContinue reading “Exercise 4:3 Conversations with pictures – Interpretation”

First Story Board This is based upon a Chinese Xianxia/Fantasy drama called Ashes of Love https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashes_of_Love_(TV_series)This is the opening sequence, where a “goddess” is having a magical birth.

I remember seeing the “I’m your father” story boardContinue reading “Research Task 4:2 Case study: Brandon J Wallace”

This one started with the same issues I that faced in 4:0 fill it up fast. Like the prior exercise I thought likely will have to do in two parts, however one morning on the school run I took my sketchbook with the intention to practice – along with the “list” of what I neededContinue reading “Exercise 4:1 Description and Depiction”

Part One Due to the nature of this course I plan to do this exercise twice by time completed the unit. This is due to COVID-19 and all the same issues I’ve faced though-out the course, but I also do not want to delay waiting as everyday the “rules” change so I do not knowContinue reading “Exercise 4:0 Fill it up – FAST! Pt1”

I’m not going to lie, I normally find it better for me to research one or two artist/illustrators at one time. I can have an information overload quite easily, as I do like to really learn and research in depth, plus I also need to get better at expanding upon my thoughts more. As IContinue reading “Research task 4:1 Top ten Visual Diaries”

Mydanwy Tristram @Mockduck, from Brighton (UK) creator of Comics and Graphic Memoirs. First of all I pulled up Mydanwy’s Website https://myfanwytristram.com/category/sketch-diary/ I started to look though her work, oldest first to the newest as I wanted to see how she grows within her visual diaries. I really enjoyed reading her visual diaries, finding humour inContinue reading “Research Task 4:0 Visual Diaries”
