I envision my concept as a lengthy and ongoing series, so rather than attempt an entire timeline that I am yet unsure of, I chose to create story boards for a couple of pivotal moments in the story.
Having never created a story board before I have found this task rather daunting. It has forced me to realize that my drawing skills-while perfectly fine for drawing exclusively from life and creating finished drawings and paintings-are ill suited to quick and lively gestures where the main objective is to capture movement and expression. Unfortunately these shortcomings have made the process more stressful as well as lengthier than I believe was intended.
I am going to start attending weekly figure drawing sessions as a way to speed up my drawing process and expand my pose repertoire. I will also spend more time studying the helpful references that Dana provided on the class blog. Those were certainly very helpful!
