TASK 1

Trace 3 – one & two-point perspective draw overs from your favorite animations.

For this task, I had to watch through some of my favorite animations and pick out some of the scenes to study their perspective points.

Before I began studying and drawing over them, however, I had to do some research on how to find the different perspective points. For my research, I used the videos from my lecturer, provided on the blackboard.

The images I used have come from 3 separate animations, image 1 is from ‘The Amazing World of Gumball’ (2011), image 2 and 3 are from ‘Adventure Time’ (2010) and I chose ‘Spongebob’ (1999) for images 4, 5 and 6. When it came to placing the lines to present the perspective points of each scene, I used Adobe Photoshop.

You may have noticed that image 6 differentiates from the others as it has 4 perspective points rather than 1 or 2, that’s because I decided to experiment and see could I find the points within a four-point perspective scene, however, I think my example is incorrect.

Overall, this task was tough but after research and practice, I was able to get the hang of one and two-point perspectives.

TASK 2

12 thumbnail drawings of composition studies based on your world theme. 

Here I have attached 12 monochromatic thumbnail drawings I drew based on the theme of our group’s animated world, that theme being ‘forest world’. My group and I had decided we wanted our world to look like a forest/rainforest so I tried my best to visualize some of our ideas.

I created these thumbnails using Adobe Photoshop and I decided not to use colour as I wanted to keep them simple yet detailed enough to present what we were going for.

I’m pleased with the outcome of each of these thumbnails. The only thing I found difficult was coming up with 12 different scenes, without making it look like I was repeating any.

TASK 3

Start to concept and ideate your world theme.

This week was our first week as a group so, apart from the thumbnails shown in task 2, we were just discussing ideas and creating rough mind maps of what we wanted to achieve. we knew we wanted to set our animatic in a rainforest type world and we had also discussed what animals/creatures we wanted to create. we agreed on including rainforest animals, mushrooms, and plants as the main attributes to our animatic.

I’m really excited to work with my group and I cant wait to see what we can come up with together.
