Alright, starting out there's a lot to get going, so here we go. For next Friday, below is what you'll need to have ready:
1. A blogspot.com or wordpress.com or some sort of online documentation of your work in this class. If you have questions about this, email me.
2. Get your sketchbook and get started! You'll need to be knocking out about 7-10 sketches per week to stay on track.
3. Bring $10 worth of Print Coupons from Student Services.
4. 10 Individual images that deal with skeletal structure and muscle anatomy. These need to be AT LEAST 400 x 400 pixel images. (No thumbnails)
5. Your Web Resource - The site is up to you, but it needs to be something you can show and explain.
6. Finish up your Skeletal/Muscle drawings and make sure they're labeled, then save as jpg and post to your blog.
Here's a few examples of student work from last quarter

Wednesday Feb 15th
Final Project: Collaboration Comic
The basic storyline is we'll start off with an in classroom scene discussing what to do for a final project. From there, each student will create an 8" x 8" page that includes at least 3 panels. You can include more if you want to, but within these panels, you will portray yourself declaring your idea for what you would want to do for a project and then create the other scenes to be a visualization of that project. For example, Sarah said she wanted to create herself as an elf set in World of Warcraft, so she would portray herself proposing that idea, then illustrate the two other panels with that story.
The requirements for these illustrations are as follows:
8"x8" file size at 150 dpi
Must include figure, hands, feet, close up/portrait, & perspective
All three panels should be carefully planned out with regards to layout, readability, flow and interest.
Each individual scene should be dynamic with perspective...no straight on shots (like with everyone on a flat horizon line and eye level with each other. No two characters are to be the same size in the same scene...demonstrate the figure in space and using line of sight combined with perspective to achieve an interesting scene.
For Wednesday, bring:
- written ideas for your project
- at least 3 different layout concepts (panels only)
- lots of thumbnails. Sketch these out loosely and choose the best ones, don't just make one and be happy with it. Even if you think it's the best, make a couple more...analyze it and figure out what could make it better.A ballpark should be at least a page for each panel/scene.
- Final Scene in pencils. Wednesday will be spent inking and coloring in.
The following Wednesday will be spent compiling them together and printing. If you want to keep a printed version, bring your $10 of print coupons and we'll print out all of your work from the quarter for you to take with you.
For each character, refer to the clothing in the mugshot photos...we're trying to keep these somewhat similar in style, but for sure the character should look the same.
Here's some websites to get an idea of layout.
