Discovery Task 8:

I know I’ve fallen a bit off the wagon with discovery tasks, and getting back into it was hard. Especially with this one for me. As I’ve said before I am a perfectionist, but when it comes to collages being messy with purpose is embraced. So I tried to let myself go a little crazy with it.

I wanted the panels to be a road map, since that’s not quite traditional, and took the collage theme to heart and broke out the mod podge and magazines. Part of the story and collage is the canvas I chose to work with itself. The paper is my old server notebooks glued together to signify my past and how I have embraced change, as much as I fear it.

Discovery Task 4:

This task was both easy and hard. I love photography, but I also tend to be more critical of my photos than of my drawings. It was hard for me to decide on a theme and feeling without feeling the need to go all out for it, so I went with something funny to try and take the pressure off. This took me around 1 and 1/2 hours, just because I was fighting with myself over the topic I wanted to tackle.

Discovery Task 3:

This task took a lot of deliberation on my part. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go with something light and simple, or difficult subject matter. As you can see I went difficult. The idea came to me in class, and I was struggling to decide whether my drawing skills would be good enough to tackle it. This issue has deeply affected me personally and I really wanted to bring it justice.

I took 4 hours to plan, draw, trace, and color this comic. I decided to go subject to subject for my panel transitions and I think that worked very well in this case. I wish I was more adept at drawing people and could have added more real to life depictions of the march and other panels. I think I took a risk with the layout of my panels being read in a circular motion, but it was important to me to show the cycle and the chains that surround it. I chose to add one word to the comic in the form of “Bill” as I thought it was necessary to clarify the nature of the document.

Discovery Task 2:

When it comes to being me, the question about Pansexuality comes up a lot. So here it is explained.

This task took me about three and a half hours to complete from start to finish. When I started I had no idea what I wanted to draw, and as far as what style I wanted to draw in I was clueless. I took a lot of my time figuring out a concept, and then how I wanted to portray that concept.
