Progress of drawingFor the style of the product, I was inspired modern drawing technique of comic book. To show my improvement of drawing technique and check structure of painting, I made a piece of draft. From the draft, I carefully checked what went well and what to make better, and I redrew the second draft of the part not good. Then finally I tried to draw actual product.
1st draft was to check structure mainly. I carefully checked points below: which scene and where it is, and what people are doing in the specific scene. I didn't draw this draft politely that is because the purpose of this draft was just to check structures such as main idea of comic book, uses of boxes and characters. For the second draft, I drew more politely than the 1st draft. 1st draft was to check the rough structure. However, this draft is carefully drawn further detailed depiction such as what characters wear, characters' facial expression, and weather's effect. Also, I was conscious of improvements on 1st draft and put into this draft. After completing these two rough drafts, I moved to the drawing actual picture. At this final part of drawing process, not only draw characters and objects, I used MediBangPaintPro for colouring background. This process made comic book more ambiences and story more interesting. Global context that I picked is "Personal and Cultural Expression". This context is expressed throughout my comic book itself. My themes are shogi and manga which are both Japanese tradition and has strong connection to the context. However, not only them, the expression of objects in comic book also has strong connection to personal and cultural expression. I focused on Tokyo, Japan mainly as a stage of a story. How people live there and relationships they have. how to express them in my product is the goal that I set as well and I think I achieved to express them. |
