Module 6: Final Sketches

Well, here are the finals. I am able to break the markers down from the shelves that I haven't used in a while. Looks like they're drying up and I need new ones.

Module 6: Lighting and Mood Sketches

Preliminary sketches and shot list for panels showing how lighting affects mood. I'm uploading my finals as I complete them. Stay tuned.

Module 5: Storyboard Finals

I added more detail in this go-round as you can see in the buildings in the background of panels 7 and 9. Also, Bill’s Candy Shop in panels 10, 11, 12. By seeing all the panels, you begin to see the characters’ personalities. For example, I noticed Grandpa Joe to be a cynical character at the beginning until he finds out Charlie has found the Golden Ticket. I tried to change his personality to a happy character from then on. Charlie has always been a positive little guy throughout the story.

Module 4: Storyboard Roughs

For this next assignment, I picked Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Here are roughs that will go along with the final next week. Like always, click on this image to see it big and use the "back" button on your browser to return.

Module 3: Nursery Rhyme Storyboard

For our second assignment, we were to interpret a fairy tale through storyboards. I picked "Hey Diddle Diddle" using the two main characters "Cat" and "Diddle". I tried to stay true to the rhyme adding a modern twist. For example, notice how the cow is broad jumping the moon -- on his two hind legs!! Hilarious. I'm getting more familiar with the "Manga Studio Ex" computer program using cleaner lines as I go. Click on each images to view it bigger.

Module2: Another one minute sketch

Here's another one minute sketch. Hey, who is this guy anyways?

Module 2: One minute sketches

Well, it's started up again. Finally. Here's my first drawing assignment for this new storyboarding class taught online class at Foothill College. I've been learning "Manga Studio EX" to draw the storyboards in order to speed up and refine the process. For this first assignment we were to draw each panel with a one minute time limit. Well, actually with the power of the computer, I was able to draw a total of two images and manipulate them for a total of six panels. It took a little longer then one minute though. I added the limited color afterward. All of this is experimental right now but I'm liking the results. I know I've got a lot to learn. Come back again to see my progress.
