These are my final sketches I used for my equations.
I originally didn’t want to draw and just use photo manipulation but I decided to just challenge myself and put my drawing module to good use. I almost cried doing and I’m happy it paid off.
I still wanted to play with light in order to take my design further, So instead of the dissolving of pills and melting of ice cream (way too much work and experimenting) I decided to just use tracing paper which was my original idea that was never recorded.
So what I did was to print 2 sets. One normal paper and one tracing..
For each design i chose an object to cut away to let the light pass. This is to allow emphasis in my message to my audience.
Although cutting each frame took a long time, it turned out great and this is my first try.
REFLECTION:
I still remember my first assignment for 2d. It was really tough for me as visually communicating my ideas was a first for me. However, this assignment made me realise how much I’ve learnt and how much I have developed and refined my skill in trying to communicate visually. It gradually got easier and I could even help my friends. I also felt less lost in managing how to composite my frames.
Sketching was really tough on me and almost took me the whole day especially bodies with really hard poses. I could draw the legs but never the arms and proportion of the head is always wrong haha. I found that my main problem was just patience(short attention span) and I just wanted the picture to be developed quickly but with drawing you really need the time to slowly figure out proportions and design on composition.
As for colours, I enjoyed learning to use the colour for what object using the monochrome colour scheme. If some objects looked dark toned it just felt weird and i had to learn how to adjust.
I’m really happy I managed to push myself in terms of technique although it was straining on me. I’m thankful I managed to pull through
