3. PROCESS WORK 

    3.1 Research :

    As we were given reference uploaded in the google classroom, I started looking at them for ideas regarding the perspective ill be taking for my character, its placement, and the background setting.

    In creating both my character and my composition, I tried to make a medium shot of my character, and the background shown sideways.

    3.2 Ideation

    We were instructed to show Mr. Hafiz our sketch of both our composition and background for feedbacks on what we could do better,

First sketch :

    I decided to create a new character for my task 2. in this exercise, we were assigned on making the background of our character and shading them using pathfinder. We were allowed to design a completely different character from our previous work with not limited shapes required. In this Idea I first sketched was an octopus hanging and is being seen from the top perspective. But since I thought it may be too simple for a background, I went on to sketch another piece.

Digital sketch :

    For our sketch submission, I submitted my sketch that I made using Ibis Paint. I was going with an octopus hanging inside the circus with and additional tentacle grabbing the iron pole. But after sending it to Mr. Hafiz, we suggested that I look at the reference given for better ideas for my background and foreground. 

Final sketch :

    In this final sketch, I was trying to make the octopus on the right be the center. And, when previously the red and white fabric shows the starting point casually in the middle, I then tried to create it above the octopus to make it seem like a perspective from where he is.

5. REFLECTION

    Throughout the process of creating the compositions, and new character, there where some struggle I faced, such as the use of tools, ungrouping shapes and others. However, playing around with the pen tool, shape tool, pathfinders, I started to understand it a lot ore as I continued my work.
