easel pose photo references




Can you give more space between the easel and Lilia and pull her arms out little more from her body?  You can use " post it"  to fix ( or piece of paper and tape).
Or we can fix it in photoshop. ( Hold until Sunday)

SHOTS


Scene (filmmaking), a part of action in a single location in a TV or movie, composed of a series of shots






An establishing shot is usually the first shot of a new scene, designed to show the audience where the action is taking place. It is usually a very wide shot or extreme wide shot.




CITATION:
    Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Dir. Chris Columbus. Perf. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson. Warner Bros. 2001. Film.
EXPLANATION: In this scene, the audience watches the first year Hogwarts students sail to the school. Using the Extreme Long Shot technique is effective because the viewer sees the boats and then gets first their view of the castle, lit up and beautiful at night. with the music and setting it makes the viewer feel like they are really there. 
 





Over-The-Shoulder Shot

A shot where the camera is positioned behind one subject's shoulder, usually during a conversation. It implies a connection between the speakers as opposed to the single shot that suggests distance.

 

Low Angle Shot

A shot looking up at a character or subject often making them look bigger in the frame. It can make everyone look heroic and/or dominant. Also good for making cities look empty.


High Angle Shot

A shot looking down on a character or subject often isolating them in the frame. Nothing says Billy No Mates like a good old high angle shot.



POV shot

A shot that depicts the point of view of a character so that we see exactly what they see. Often used in Horror cinema to see the world through a killer's eyes.
 

Zootopia references for cities

Rhea,
Pay attention to time of the day. time of the season .

Sunset, evening and winter are more unicolor ( similar tones). 
Day time is more contrast and shows various building's own colors. 

When the sun hits, the window are more reflective and when lights are dark, the windows glow with room lights. 

Or you could go crazy and have fun with your  unrealistic imaginativecolors. 
 Please Have fun!

Top down view of city

Hi Rhea,
This is for your perceptive project.
Think about ...

 time of the day when you color.

  early morning when it is foggy and everything is pastel tone?

 middle of hot day when top of the building are the brightest?



 early sunset? when the sun hits the tallest building?


sunset when every thing is purple and orange?



      late evening when windows lights  are on? or middle of night when the roads are brighter than buildings and the city looks like Christmas lights.

To Chankyo

Hi Chankyo,

Happy Monday!
Thank you so much for beautiful daily doodles!
You mentioned that you already wrote a story. Could you share with us here? So we can move on to your characters?

The writing doesn't have to be perfect  or good. ( I never judge your art. ) Just share a simple synopsis with three sentence is enough for now. Thanks.

Please keep working on your life drawings! If it is hard to find people, draw yourself in a mirror or your family. THank you!

relationship between text and image






Marta Altés’s approach is different. The textual and visual contradiction of her book is based on the difference of a human’s and a dog’s conception of desirable and undesirable behaviour of a dog. While the dog assumes his family appreciates his frequent help with variety of tasks and mistakes the family´s order to stop misbehaving for his name (No), the reader sees images of the same situations from a human point of view, seeing how the dog is being naughty while his family is trying to stop him by shouting ‘no’ at him. Her presentation of these two different points of view to the reader is very entertaining, especially for those who have their own dog at home. I believe that she also based her story on her own dog.

M. Frezee

As you can see Marla Frazee‘s illustrations use humour to contradict the text which in the end adds a very special feeling to the book as a whole and make it rather enjoyable. She challenges the reader’s conception of the written truths by visual inversions. For example, when James [the boy in blue shorts] comes to visit Eamon’s family, the text implies that he comes with just a couple of his belongings, while the image clearly shows an abundance of boxes and bags bursting with James’s stuff. Later, the text indicates the boys decision to stay home, while the illustration shows them running away so fast they each lost one of their shoes and little clouds of dust formed behind them.
