Assignment

Your prompt is 'Shadow' Use the techniques introduced & reinforced in class to create a two-frame/drawing/composition story for next week.

  • You will upload TWO photoshop files for class next week.
  • You will upload the .tiff scans used to create these two drawings.
  • You are tasked to draw using traditional methods (paper, scan, prep, and color 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 'Shadow' across 2 separate files.

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.
  • Bring all the parts/pieces that you wish to use into one file, and compose an illustration.
  • Duplicate the file and modify the parts/pieces to create a 2nd Photoshop file that works in conjunction with the first panel to tell a story. You can add additional elements to your frames as needed.
  • 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, and duplicate your parts/pieces, you can use any variation or Photoshop techniques you wish.
  • We will be reviewing your images side by side, name them appropriately, please.

Upload for class next week

  1. Two LAYERED Photoshop files.
  2. Origonal scan files.
  3. Compositions should be 5" x 5"
  4. I would suggest scanning at (at least) 1200 ppi, then working at 1200 ppi & coloring that.
  5. I have created a new Google Drive directory for this project: svaMFAI_20231016-assignment-scan-shadow-2-frame
