Next in the last few projects is another choose your own type. However, this one isn't as free as the last because these slots are being used as the start for our concentration projects. For my concentration, I chose to format it like a story, where each picture tells a different part of what's going on. Mine will be entirely digital and follows the journey of a lone cat wondering through the wilderness on his way to an unknown destination. Most of the pictures will involve elaborate settings and places, with some more story or action oriented than others. The idea came about from the fact that I love drawing cats and happen to be very good at it. From proportion to how they move, all of it looks crisp and accurate. So I decided to use my strengths and base my entire concentration around that.
The first piece I simply titled "Starting Out". Our protagonist, the cat, has received his call to venture out and into the wide world ahead. Originally, he lived in a small village consisting of plain houses all with orange-red roves powered by a tall windmill on the edge. And as he steps out on the first leg of his journey, the cat casts a forlorn look back at the home he leaves behind. I tried to capture the warmth of the early morning sun with the soft, yellow lighting shining on the hills and the houses, as well as the sadness and hesitation in the cat's expression. During the process of drawing this, I found that if you shrink the blending tool and use it on the other fur colors on the cat, like the stripes or his stomach fur, the blend and transition from one to another, making it look like it was actually part of his fur. I feel confident about how the project is going so far, and I already have several ideas for what I plan to do in the future.
