What I have been working on in my studio since last friday was basically finishing my Illustration for the first assignment and writing my narrative. I easily spent a good 3 hours just working on the drawing (finishing up all the inking and details). I also spent a good 15-20 minutes looking though the comics section of the library over in the basement of the duderstat library. I went looking for information/ inspiration about coloring/painting techniques. I want to learn to paint using nothing but colors and or changes in value, no lines. I believe that this will help to give my work a visual dynamic that would make it much more interesting. After talking with hanna on thursday i decided to go back to the library and look up books on storytelling, or the form and structure of narratives. I also spent about three hours on thursday writing my narrative and outlining my story so that ill be able to show my professors and gsi's on tuesday. What I discovered during my studio time was that i need to learn to better articulate my feeling and or ideas to my faculty, i believe that its the fears i have about my faculty forcing me into doing a project im not happy with that causes me to choose my words a little to carefully, all it does is make me seem like i cant talk about my ideas :\ . I also learned that as I previously stated, it would be most helpful to check out some books on storytelling to help with the development of my narrative.
What I think i should do next is have an outline for my story ready for class on tuesday so that me and my faculty can begin discussing it. Hanna ants me to have the ENTIRE store outlined, and im happy to do it, but since there is now way im going to be able to fit the whole thing into this one IP project, in addition to outlining i intend to have the parts of the story that I do want done during IP to be written in full detail also ready to hand in on monday.
