Illustration

For this assignment, which required a 6 frame thumbnail storyboard of an existing scene or a made up scene. I used The Natural as my inspiration and reference for this. Using the scene in which Roy Hobbs strikes out the Whammer, who was regarded as the greatest player, which in turn gets Hobbs shot by the crazed fan depicted in the sixth frame, as a result of her seeing that Hobbs is the best player in the game.  For the storyboard I used a variety of close up and far wide shots for my thumbnails. I picked out six frames which I felt best illustrated the scene as a whole. And first digitally painted them in greyscale to get all my values and everything set. Greyscale Storyboard I then coloured in all the frames in full colour to give the full idea and light angles that are present in every scene. Colour StoryBoard

For my Toronto police service colour comp, I wanted to emphasize the diversity, by illustrating women in two different areas of police work. I did simple illustrations for each, to make it more of a general female for each. I wanted to make sure the police officer was depicted with a friendly smile. Since we were urged to use textures, images or objects in our design as opposed to just digital brushes, I added in an old map of Toronto as the background, with a lowered opacity, to tie everything in together.
