Thursday 2/4 in Cartooning: Dinosaurs + Action Drawing



We've talked about Dinosaur Comics in class and today you'll get you're own blank copy to add text to. Think about thought bubbles, word bubbles, and narration boxes. Bonus points for adding emanata. Keep this in your folder when you're done.

Next, we'll continue working with drawing motion. Today you can choose 2 out of these three scenarios:

  1. A ball crashes through a window into a kitchen and rips through the newspaper of a person sitting in the room. The person reacts to the window breaking.
  2. Person 1 trips person 2. Person 1 is laughing, person 2 is trying to catch him or herself and is knocking over the lamp.
  3. Two guys are fighting. Guy 1 throws a rock at guy 2. Guy 2 is hit by the rock, which makes him shoot his gun into the air. The bullet hits and breaks a chain holding up a heavy lamp over guy 1's head.

Here are some examples.
