Assignment
Your prompt is 'Fall' Use the techniques introduced & reinforced in class to create a two frame/drawing/composition story for next week.
- You will bring in or upload two photoshop files for class next week.
- You tasked to draw using traditional methods (paper, scan, prepare in Photoshop).
Your assignment is to draw at least 4 or 5 foreground items and at least 1 background drawing, then use multiple copies of the same items to create a story about 'fall' in 2 separate frames.
Process
- Draw no less than 5 separate parts/pieces which will be assembled into two compositions.
- At least one part/piece should be a "background"
- Scan and prep each part/piece for coloring digitally or draw on your iPad Pro.
- Bring all the parts/pieces that you wish to use into one file, compose an illustration.
- Duplicate the file and modify the parts/pieces to create a 2nd frame or panel that works in conjunction with the first panel to tell a story.
- You don't have to use EVERY object in both files, but I expect that both files will share 80% of the assets.
- You can scale, rotate, recolor, duplicate your parts/pieces, you can use any variation or Photoshop techniques you wish.
- You should be using groups within Photoshop.
Bring with you/upload for class next week
- Two LAYERED photoshop files.
- Compositions should be 5"x5"
- I would suggest scanning at 1200 ppi, then working at 600 ppi & coloring that.
