Entry 12- Bedroom 2
This lesson, I finished tracing the bedroom and started colouring in the bedroom. It was incredibly time-consuming as the bedroom was quite detailed. The steps I took to trace the bedroom was repeated, like last time. This time, however, I had to draw round surfaces.
The places that I had complications in would be the window frame, the bed and the smaller details. The shift clicking method is incredibly helpful. However, the pin-points sometimes do not match, making it hard for me to colour in later on. The whole bedroom was frustrating to trace as some places were overly detailed, for example, the bed sheets. I still traced them, as I wanted the bedroom to look "exact" from the original image. However, I decided not to trace the wall details, as they were deemed to be unnecessary. The tracing of the window flame came out lanky, but since I didn't have much time left, after several attempts of redrawing, I gave up. I used the 1pt black pencil to trace all my backgrounds.
For the colouring, I decided to colour in my bedroom in a monochrome way once again, to show his blank attitude and vibe when he was "alive." It's commonly stereotyped that people who lost their will to live to prefer blank monochrome colours, over bright, colourful colours. I would like to use this knowledge strategically to connect further with the suicidal viewers. As I mentioned before, the colouring, in my opinion, is the hardest part of the animation as lots of errors usually happen. For example, when the bucket fill tool is used, the bucket fill tool sometimes colours in a whole another spot when the line isn't drawn correctly, or sometimes the colour settings of an object does not seem right. In the end, I finished drawing the bedroom with hard work, but I am not incredibly satisfied with the result.
That's all that I've done this lesson.
