Black Mirror Sotryboard - NoseDive

For this week we were asked to create a storyboard of either a commercial, show or movie. I went ahead and did a storyboard of an opening scene in one of my favourite shows, Black Mirror. I started with the very first scene and for all of my images I just simply paused the show took a screen capture then used that as my photo reference!


The first image is Lacie starting her morning with her usual morning run! I started with linework then added my greyscale shading after I was happy with the layout of this thumbnail.


The second thumbnail Lacie stops during her run to have a little break and checks her phone immediately to see what "her" current rating is.


The third thumbnail is a close-up shot of Lacie checking her phone, again for all the thumbnails I always proceeded with linework first, shading second and hilites are added lastly if necessary, which in this thumbnail I felt they were to add to the dark "grass background"


In this fourth thumbnail Lacie showers after her morning run and views again her social rating, which happens to be "4.2" she is content with this number but wants it to be higher up. The process is still the same; linework then shading.



In the fifth thumbnail, it is a view from Lacies perspective and she is viewing the other around her as she steps out. There are halos around peoples heads which indicate what their social ratings based on other people. The process continued to be the same as previous thumbnails; linework, shading and in this specific scene hilites as well.



In the sixth and final thumbnails, Lacie is looking at her "happy" cookie as she gets higher rates from others in the cafe! The process continued from the previous thumbnails as well.

Toronto Police Colour Comp

Image
For this part of the assignment, I started by getting different elements from each of my thumbnails and combining them together to create more diversity! I started by copying all the different woman I wanted to use in this picture and just arranging them in greyscale where and what size I want everyone to be! After I was happy with the layout I played with some typography that I liked and placed that accordingly as well. I then proceeded to add colour staying in the theme of blues and pop colour of yellow. Which are colours I associate police workers with. After adding the colours I know I needed to have something conceptual and fun and I thought adding a background of roads of different effectiveness and opacities would be a good way to give this design piece something interesting! At this point I can start to see the piece coming together, but I know I should definitely play around with the background more and I did by placing them different ways and different effectiv

Grim Reaper - Storyboard Comps

Image
For this second part of the assignment, we were asked to create larger comprehensive sketches of our thumbnails. I started with some line art to get placement correct.  This sketch the grim reaper is playing his radio to get music playing in the background while he is about to enjoy his bubble bath. After I was happy with the linework I then decided to add in colour, furthermore with some subtle hilites and shadows. This is my second sketch of the grim reaper filling the bath up with water, I drew out everything first made sure I was happy with it. After I was content with the linework part I proceed to add colour and again hilites and shadows Moving onto my third comp sketch, I went with a close up shot of the bath being filled with bubbles. I then created the linework and made sure I was happy with that After being content with the linework I added colour and hilites as well as shadows Finally doing my last comp line drawing placing

Portraits

Image
This week we attempted to do our first portraits using our Wacom tablets, I used an older photo from my father of his mother, my nonna, Carmela. I had a lot of fun recreating this image and hope to only make my skills stronger and stronger moving forward! We started with picking a picture and creating just an outline of the image: After, we hid the image and added in background colour with some light tonal values: Continuing to add more and more tonal values At this point, I started to add more details such as a few major hilites as well as filling in the rest of the painting! Finally, I made my darks much darker and blended my hilites into the piece to give it a more realistic look and feel to the piece! Overall for my first attempt, I am happy with this portrait and only hope I can strengthen my skills as I continue my education and design career!
