Some of My Art work for Cartoon lessons

I thought I'd post something slightly different and give a few people a taste of what we do on the award.

I don't think I'm giving any thing away when I say that Life Drawing platys and important part of the award. and over the year we have had a range of different lecturers in to show student different techniques to help them develop their style.

Story plays an important part in the make up of cartoon and comic arts and here are my drawings of the Heroes journey, done to try and explain to students how character interact and how the story develops.

Above, the University uses a virtual class room where we/I try to post all manner of stuff to help the cartoonist. It should hopefully become an on line storage system. Only students registered on the award can access the information.

Cartoonists number swell

Numbers in the Cartoon studios swelled this hour as the late risers arrived laden with Halloween goodies. 

I'm sure it did say something un-savoury at one point! Everyone now has blue teeth as the icing had some blue ingredient in there.

My story is still developing as you can see. This is the heroes call to adventure and his refusal etc. I'm still sketchin as a lot seem to be inking. Gulp. 

Hour 3 & 4

We are all beginning to realise what a quest it is to do a comic non-stop for 24 Hours. The deadline, even though 20 hours away seems imminent. We're drawing try to develop dialogue and plot and what you initially thought would take a page has now run over 3 pages. 

Any way here is my story continuing and here is some of the work being produced by the other members of the gang. 

This pages sees the death of the Hero's father in a valiant attempt to right the wrong. We also see the Young Hero transform 20 years in the end panel to prepare him for his quest.

Here we are given the insight to what Joshua has become. Following on in his fathers foot steps but he now takes unnecessary chances. But his knowledge seems to shine through. Here the hero is offered another job, will he accept it?

Below are what the others in the group are working on 

Hour 2 My Story

2 hours 2 pages roughly sketched out. 

What I'm trying to do with this page is introduce all the main characters who will go on to tell the story. Dr William Marcus is the chief mining expert and his Boss is Mister Jobs. We are also introduced to Williams Son Joshua Marcus who will basically go onto to tell the story. We are introduced to Williams wife, and she is also a doctor. So straight away the idea is set that Joshua is from an educated family with smart parents.
