Today I completed a few more drawings for the film, one is of the magic coming and taking over the town. The other is of the school children running away as the fog closes in on them. I am quite happy with them both and I am becoming more confidence with using charcoal to create greater detail in the works. For example the books and pencil pot in the window of the school, as they do not look rough and the lines are straight as in the past I sometimes have trouble drawing smooth lines on the paper.
I also started to use colour on the drawings, as I had purple pastel to represent the fog which enters the town. It worked quite well and adding a bright colour helped to carry the narrative. As the fog is a key part to the narrative of the story and I wanted to express the importance of that through colour.
I need to think more about the right scale of people/objects when completing my drawings. So that I can have the right amount of space to explain the story even further. As sometimes run out of room in the past on the page, so cannot explain everything to it’s full content.
