FA 210 Digital Painting Week 9

This week students were asked to form groups and write a creative brief to set a stage for making character silhouettes. This firsts stage should create 20 silhouette thumbnails which will then be evaluated by the group to choose 5 for development into a rough. The toughs will then be evaluated by the group again to help select a final. This process will hopefully lead to the strongest solutions. After all finals are finished the group will then present their concept and finals together.
