Adding tones to storyboard frames in preparation for animatic

 


For the last couple of days I've been working in collaboration with a small team of my fellow students Rahul, Heather and Emma to produce a storyboard in preparation for creating an animatic to show at a group presentation with our other class mates. Here's part of my original sketches...


I starts with a shot of the entrance to the Barbarella Club, which then transforms into the iconic moon and the spoon symbol associated with Studio 54. The moon leans back and takes a bite from the spoon and morphs into a rotating smiley face, a symbol associated with the rave scene.

The end of the sequence was adapted with the removal of the record player and the overall tone of the animatic had been set by some very atmospheric work by Rahul for the start of the storyboard...








Everybody on the team has used the above artwork as a style and colour guide to try and create a unified finish so baring this in mind, I worked up my original idea using Procreate on my iPad. Here's the finished sequence.

'Mastering lighting and shading' - a new online course and illustration...

After I reworked the facial features in the Briar turnaround Kieran suggested I also look into different types of lighting and try to improve the coloured Briar pose by creating a scene and adding some directional light.  This led me to watch another online course by 21 Draw... This was fantastic and gave me a whole new workflow to learn. I also researched some characters from Star Wars for reference... ...then went on to design the illustration at the top of the page.

Improving the faces in the Briar turnaround...

Image
  Above is an updated version of the Briar turnaround, after getting more good feedback from Kieran about the state of my portfolio he suggested I turn my attention to the face work in the turnaround - which was quite loose and suggestive at that point. It now looks a lot better and I'm happier with the result,  I'm now going to see if I can improve the illustration I did of Briar by looking at the lighting and possibly add some directional light, incorporating some of what I learned from my life studies earlier this semester.

Adding colour to Maddox in pose...

Image
  Above is the finished illustration of Maddox in her battle outfit, it was a challenge and I still have a lot to learn about anatomy and rendering flesh and skin tones (and hair) but I feel this has come together nicely and is one of the final pieces to include in my portfolio. The sketch I started with can be viewed below...
