The lecture this week focused on tone and value. Throughout the presentation, we completed short exercises. Drawing items that I believe might exist in our world—Haunted House Storybook World—was the first task. Apply various tints and tones to the items once they have been sketched out. Lighting resources were given to many items from the front and right. The second activity involved using lines and crosshatchings to create tones and shades while still drawing out specific objects. For this activity, I have decided to sketch a few buildings.
We are switching groups for the first time this week. New members of Ella, Naomi, and Darian were switched into our group at the Haunted House Storybook World, while Gio and I remained in the same group. I gave the newcomers a general overview of our universe and the stages we were at after the group move, and we continued with our world discussion. This week, the following concepts were considered interesting:
- Every time when the character escape to the door and she steps out. She will automatically get transport back to the middle of the haunted house.
- Instead of just having creepy dolls ruling the haunted house, we can have more creatures.
- Instead of a house it could be a castle or a mansion.
- The rooms in the haunted house could be a place, when the door open it could be an endless forest or beachside with an invisible end.
The homework for this week, I sketched out some new thumbnails of our world based on the developed ideas. Also, two rough sketches with tones.
