One Day Project- David

For the one day project brief created by David we were to create a four panel story inspired by the song 'Happy Birthday', there wasn't many needs for the brief however, it was important we thought further than ust the traditional birthday cake. 

After being given the brief i began thinking of some different ideas and creating some inital ideas which can be seen in the panel sketches below. In my ideas i thought mainly about creating a birthday party the first idea was for my own rabbits showing them thrpughout their borthday party as they discover the special picnic planned for them. The second idea was based around a dog who was recieveing his birthdy cake whilst being sung to. I really enjoyed both ideas and felt they told happy birthday in their own way. However, after having a think and reviewing the ideas i ecided to move forward with the rabbit ideas as i felt this was a bit more unique and would challenge my drawing skill.

Inital Ideas

Final Design 

Below shows the final design which i created with my two rabbits, in these pannels i played around with character and composition making sure to tell a story with these different drawings. After creating the base sketch i actually began creating full colour images. However, around half way through i reviewed and felt that it would take too much time for the one day project and would not be finished. I also wanted to experiment, as i often use full coloured drawings within my illustrations and felt t may be nteresting to instead focus on the line work. Therefore, i used green pencil outlines with coloured layers underneath to represent shadow anf tone to add further depth to the image. 

I really liked how this looked and feel the technique of line work used was really effective and really told my story of the rabbits birthday party. Overall i am really happy with my outcome for this brief, i found it really fun and interesting and defiently allowed me to experiment with my drawing skills and style.
