The Tailor's Daughter: More Landscape Sketches

So, this time, we have the accompanying interiors for the girl's room. The perspective is horrible on the first, but it helped me get an idea of what I want. The third, though, feels too cramped. I like the second - the caged bird concept. The girl is well-treated, but everything hints to her wanting to go outside. The tapestry, her painting, her needlepoint, are all outdoor scenes.


Here are some exterior environment pictures. Trying to expand into a new look or time, but non capture the feel, as well as the second batch I think.


I can't wait to really peruse the reference photos that Josh gave me. For some reason. my middle sketch is always best.

The Tailor's Daughter: Initial Landscape Sketches II

Some more sketches of the house on a hill. I'm happiest with the middle one. They all feel pretty Miyazaki, "Kiki's Delivery Service" though. I'm going to try some more using different ethnic settings., just to see what I can do. After all, the only story requirement is that it's a house on a hill by the sea.



I want to go to New York Comic Con so bad.

The Tailor's Daughter: Initial Landscape Sketches

Environment sketches for the Tailor's Daughter project. Not quite there yet, but I know what I like: pipes coming out of the roof, Spanish-style shingles, ivy, clotheslines, broken outside walls, heavy wood-and-iron doors, and painted wooden shutters.

Advanced Animation Project: Story Notes and Landscapes

For my Advanced Projects in Animation class, I am working on concept art and visual development. In short, I'm trying to create a fairy tale that exists within my "headworld" - environments, characters, storyboards, etc. Hopefully, I can turn it into a short film when I am a senior.

So, here are some trial environment sketches. I am trying to do perspective freehanded.


At the moment, my greatest difficulty is creating a myth that fits the time frame of a two-minute film while still delivering a moral.


On the bright side, I will be writing prose versions soon. I post my notes more so that I can reach them later if my computer crashes.
