triptych

Illustrator triptych – what were you taught?

Create a triptych that uses at least 3 frames. Use the brushes, text tools and shape tools to recreate the sketches that you made for today. Use color & text to enhance your initial drawings, and you may want to mess around with gradients & some distort tools. Start by drawing the frames in which the story is to take place, and go from there.

Thematically, we’ll make this project about your upbringing. Think about how your upbringing and the place that you come from affects the way you see things. Perhaps your community or region has particular nuances, or your family pushed you in certain directions, and you think in a manner unique to your family. What were you taught, by whom, how did you react, and how does that affect your sense of vision?

Also consider what you saw in Waking Life—how did they fill backgrounds, illustrate the human form, or advance the narrative? The movie has such an interesting visual approach to storytelling—what can you borrow for your own comic?

Whatever you do, make it interesting and avoid cliché. We’ll work on this next week.
