Expressions!

This assignment is to challenge you to work on creating personality in your figures. Illustration works primarily with humans and expressions can tell more about the story than almost any other element.

Part 1

Get a single light source( side lighting from a desk lamp) lighting from upper side right or left works best. Keep the light source consistent throughout the shoot.

 All the illustrations should be 5" x 7" with a 1/2" border around the entire image.
The drawings must be drawn to the finished poiint that anyone who looks at the drawings can tell the expressions from the piece. Fully rendered to the edges of the panels.

The elements of strong illustration

Telling the story:
1 Visualization: creating a concrete image based on abstract concepts
2. Dramatization: arranging figures and expressions and elements like lighting to best develop your image
3. Characterization: Casting your characters and settings to best realize the personalities of your characters.
4. Arrangement: Placing objects and figures and other pictorial elements( settings props etc.)
5. Embellishment: How you carry the piece to completion( making sure you have the necessary reference and life drawings to support the image.)
