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.
Upload for class next week
- Two LAYERED photoshop files.
- Origonal scan files.
- Compositions should be 5" x 5"
- I would suggest scanning at (at least) 1200 ppi, then working at 1200 ppi & coloring that.
- I have created a new Google Drive directory for this project: (link will be added)
