Hello,
So I've changed it up a bit, by working on You Suck. I haven't quite finished Qubul yet, because I want to go back over the drawings with the red pen, and then back over them with black so I can produce a better set of illustrations that will be easier to give toned values to.

Here are 3 of the characters designs I've worked on so far, out of about 10-13. Wish me luck!

Hello,
So I've noticed that I have big dreams of what I can accomplish in a day, and have not met my goal either today or yesterday. If only there were more hours in the day. Well I finished the sketched storyboards for today, I don't think I'm going to redraw them after all, I'll just try to clean them up tomorrow in photoshop. Also, I need to start doing the concept/character designs for You Suck. Well I'm excited to start on the new project tomorrow! Here's the storyboards.



\Hello,
So I have just finished the two colored concept drawings for Qubul. I have 6 of probably 7 pages of storyboards drawn as sketches. Now I need to finish the 7th page, go back over them with a pencil to clean up the sketches, and then scan them in and give them some grey tones. Then that should be the end of that project, and on to You Suck!

Hello,

So I'm a bit delayed in my deadlines, but I am trying to get this first half of my final project done. All I have to do now, is to color my concepts of Lalita, Naveen, and the sets. Then I have to draw the final sketches of the storyboard, do a clean sketch to then scan and give some grey values to. My goal is to finish all those tomorrow. As of today I have three Lalita sketches colored.

Hello,

So as you might be able to tell, Ive been trying to be a bit better about my updates, as I should be when working with people - so they can see my progress. I also want the work I do to be as updated as possible.

Anyway, so this work is going to be colored tomorrow, hopefully I'll have them all finished by the end of the day.

Hello,

I haven't done a lot today as I had work, but I did do this drawing, and prepare for some tomorrow by cutting out some tracing paper. I also order some books from amazon:

The Storyboard Design Course: The Ultimate Guide for Artists, Directors, Producers and Scriptwriters
Guiseppe Cristiano
Drawn to Life: 20 Golden Years of Disney Master Classes: The Walt Stanchfield Lectures - Volume 2
Walt Stanchfield, Don Hahn
Mike Mattesi
Dream Worlds: Production Design for Animation
Hans Bacher
Directing the Story: Professional Storytelling and Storyboarding Techniques for Live Action and Animation
Francis Glebas

I should get the first five by thursday so I can use them when I begin my next project, and the last one some time next week. I'm very excited to get into them and really do my best to take in some of the information they have.
As far as tomorrow's schedule is concerned, I have work 9-5, hopefully I can get some drawing in there somewhere. My goal is to have some of the final sketches done, so I can focus on coloring the sets, and costumes on thursday.

Final Project: Part 1: Qubul in Progress

















Hello,
I have been working on the preproduction for a screenplay called Qubul. It was written, directed and shot by some final year students from here (Coventry University). So far I have been working on the look of both the main male and female characters, as well as starting to look at possible set designs. The female character is based upon a friend from highschool, Nikki. The male is based on the actor, Dev Patel. Here is where I'm at so far in the process, hopefully I'll be done by the end of this week.
