Star Wars - Bo

My turn :) Here are my thumbnails.  I should have done it straight down, but they go from left to right.
Next time I will do a better format (also I'm sorry for the bad cell phone pictures)
























Thanks for looking at these Dave, and RIP IT APART!!!!!  Any and every critique you have let me know :)  Thanks again

  1. These look Great! I would lay off the aggressive shading though, it makes the drawings a little hard to read.

    HAHA you guys with your camera phones!

  2. Yeah I totally agree. It didn't think about it while I was boarding, but seeing it from afar, it is hard to read. It's good to keep in mind for next time. Thanks, love :)

    Nice energetic pass.

    But you need to slow down a bit and approach the thumbnails with a plan in mind. they seem so energetic that you've lost the point of them. Especially for action.

    action has to be exceptionally clear!

    these are thumbnails yes but they need to be clearly staged, acted, and shot from you mind to the paper.
    I like that you used ink and not pencil. that's good.

    you're acting wasn't the strongest in all of these and remember

    action minus acting is just action and that gets boring.

    Character always has to live in action scenes and we as artist and storytellers need to illustrate that. Portlynns eyes are super strong in her boards, Louis' gesture are super strong and if we could merge them two together we'd have some really nice thumbs.

    Portlynn's right about the overshading. you don't need it. the problem is you're swiping the pen in a diagonal for shading and there's not variation or consideration for depth so the thumbs come off flat.

    So don't do that. haha.

    with action we need to have clear;

    "Choreography and Acting"
    the backgrounds will take care of themselves.

    I hope this helps. you did say rip it apart : )

    Good pass, keep up the energy! Nest assignment coming soon.

  4. Haha Thanks Dave. That's actually super helpful.

    These are just things that I didn't even think about when doing the boards so it's good to hear the feedback. Thank you so much, and I can't wait till the next assignment :)
