During the Digital Painting lesson on Friday, i came up with one idea for a scene and drew it roughly before choosing to reproduce it in Photoshop I kept re-reading the paragraph the scene was depicting it and each time, a new image cropped up- this was the first image that came to mind:
its very rough with no detail but shows the composition i would like-
However, another time that i read the page this scene was in, the ruins were to be seen from looking down from the volcano- This image that i depicted also fits in with another scene though, after i read on, so does fit both in a way.
(there will be more sketches to come, if not that great- but digital painting stuff will come soon for reasons ii explained in my previous post)
Interim Online Review - Unit 2 : Space 10/11/09
ReplyDeleteHi Jade,
Okay - what is made very clear by your blog is that you are 'afraid' of drawing/visualisation/digital painting; if you weren't nervous or intimidated, there'd be drawings a-gogo posted here - and there aren't.
While I applaud the scene analysis that's going on here, I'm going to insist that, from this point forwards, you think via drawing and visualisation; also, I don't want you to be a mouse in your technical class with Phill - I want you to walk right up to him and ask him for the help and assistance that you need; it's a big class, and Phill is pushed for time - but don't use that to vanish; I want to see you move away from this idea I suspect you have about your talents in this area, and move towards a more 'I can do that/I can learn that' stance. I'd like to see you grow in confidence, which, in practical terms means you have to acquire new skills, outgrow old anxieties and find your creative voice.
So - these are the rules for your blog - no more chat, lots more visuals - this should include mood boards, visual references and research material - but, above all, it means thumbnail sketches, drawings and expressive digital painting... check out Ruben's blog for a great example of someone organising their development into a clearly articulated 'pipeline' of work - and also, go say hi to Alex, because he was frightened of drawing too, but he's gone out there, read up on a few things, watched a few technical dvds and his work is really beginning to transform...
As I said in an earlier post, your written assignment for unit 1 was very strong; see second comment for general advice re. written assignment for unit 2
