wayfaringwordhack Not in a bad way. I am just dead tired. This workshop is intense. In one week, we are retelling a familiar story, putting our text into a twelve-spread storyboard (thumbnails should be sketchy), picking one of the spreads to finish in our style of choice (Maya is letting people do digital if they want, but she would prefer that we work in trad media, perhaps acrylic being the primary one), and designing a cover.
There is fun twist to all of this, but the twist also renders it more complicated.
At the beginning of the day, we all wrote down a story title that should be familiar to everyone. We also wrote down a random place (a country), and a time period. Then we put our papers into little bowls and everyone had to draw a paper for each category.
My story is Jack and the Beanstalk set in Turkey in the 1700s.
I normally work like a turtle and hem and haw over the slightest things. My phone was bugging for some reason, making my research really difficult, and I wasted too much time trying to make my writing pretty and concise (note to self: this is an illustration course, not a writing course!). I felt like I wasted a lot of time. Time I have to catch on somehow, but I don't think I can right now.
Tonight, I am supposed to finish my storyboard, work on finalizing my character design, and do some more research, but...bed is calling, and I must go...
