Set, Series, Sequence:Narrative

The first idea came to my mind was a spinning wheel falls off from the bike and rolls away itself. But I found it less interesting and it could be too short for 6-12 panels of frames in the storyboard, therefore came up with another idea of a character riding a old fashioned bike, and he falls on the ground because the bike was stuck on a piece of rock on the ground.

Set, Series, Sequence:Storyboard

The story board of the short narrative produced based on the set drawings.

Set, Series, Sequence:Production

One of the series of 12 images.

I used dots in this drawing to draw both the lines and the shadows. I think it is an very interesting texture of producing drawings, and I can imagine produce animation with the style would create lots of inspiration. Below is a image that's done in similar way, with more delicate shadows.

Set, Series, Sequence:Colours

With these two series of drawing, I used coloured markers. The left one I used the three contrasting colours in order to make it capture attention and to stands out from the white background. As for the other one I used only one colour instead of mixing colours, as I think it gives a cleaner outcome and contrast with the background as well.

I am not extremely sensitive at colours, and I need to try out more collaboration with colours in my drawings.

Set, Series, Sequence:Materials

Certain parts of this piece of paper were cut out, which are the gaps between the wires of a wheel. I used to do some paper crafting, and this simple way of cutting parts out of the paper  still work well with a dark background or a contrasting background depending on the colour of the paper. I think this way of producing pieces can be applied with 2D stop-motions, especially for the background.

Set, Series, Sequence:Set to Series

During the production of the set of 24 drawings, I found this my favourite drawing and decided to produce the series of 12 drawings based on this one. Considering the similarity and difference, I think I could produce the drawings with different media, colours and shapes.

Set, Series, Sequence:Characters

The engagement of characters to objects came to my mind during the production,it is another way of presenting the object, or the word, which is "wheel". In the first one I only included the low part of the character's body, as it is enough for the drawing or otherwise it might occupy too much space rather than pointing the wheel out. In the second one, I decided that a little girl could make an interesting interaction within the wheel itself, and it can keep the whole drawing within a circle as well.

Set, Series, Sequence:Similarity

Similarities and differences in the set of drawings were always considered. In these three drawings I produced, they are all wheels of cars, but with different colours, quantities, textures, which I tried to show by using different media: marker pens for the left two and pencil for the right one; use different colours and draw the shadows with different methods.

Set, Series, Sequence:Wheel

The word I picked is "wheel", after a few scribbles of ideas I began to make some drawings to response to this word. Wheel can represents many things, and it does not need to be in its normal position, therefore makes the object more interesting.
