I’m still working on laying in tone on this storyboard assignment. Â If you read the boards from yesterday, you can continue the story here. Â In this installment, things kind of start going south for our protagonist.

Back to some class assignments: I’m now laying in some tone on some of the storyboard sketches you’ve seen earlier. Â Here’s how the story begins.

I wish I had more time at the moment for personal sketches, but such is life. Â This is a little thing for work — I’m doing a motion graphics piece about Mars Sample Return, a proposed robotic mission that would bring back rock samples to Earth for the first time. Â These are a few of the simple elements that will become part of that video. Â (Actually, it’s a very simplified version of the redacted Sketch #95 from last summer.)

Still working on the storyboard for class. Â After yesterday’s sketch, we skip ahead in the story, conveniently glossing over the contents of the motel room.

So here’s the full story behind yesterday’s sketch. Â The assignment was to create a storyboard of about 15 frames to tell the story of my trip from home to school. Â The instructor said that if it wasn’t a particularly dramatic story, we were free to embellish a little. Â That was all the permission I needed.

Again, I’m continuing work on this collection of 30 vehicle sketches. Â After drawing these four, I looked at them and realized they actually tell something of a life story. Â Hopefully not mine.
Anyway, I did a bunch of other vehicles today as well — here’s the full set.

Part of this week’s vehicles series, these are all based on advertisements in recent issues of Wired magazine. Â I’m sure if I come back and look at this sketch years from now, it’ll look amazingly dated.

New sketching project this week: 30 vehicles of various kinds. Â I’m starting out with a couple of oldies, based on Flickr photos (from users RaeA and KB35).

Part 4 of the 30 “people in environments” sketches for class. Â I realized I needed to pick up the pace if I’m to have these done by next class. Â Again, an odd assortment of ideas. Â Many of these spun off of conversation topics with a few friends at happy hour. Â And for several others, I have no idea (cemetary? farm workers? bird fancier? chin-up struggle?). Â Brains are weird.
