The tutorial I had with my one of my lecturers, Fumio, was a
session to discuss and to solidify my intentions for my FMP. We both agreed
that thinking critically about the goals and having a clear vision of the
outcomes is key to a successful project. After a few workshops in regards to
the practice of Pitch and Planning, I am now more comfortable with the ideas I
am moving forward with. It is just a matter of time to get those ideas all down
on paper and to begin with the creation of my original content of characters
and worlds. Fumio agreed that creating a body of original content is a good
idea on the long run. I told him that, as someone who likes drawing things that
are made up, whether they are of characters, narrative sequences, popular
characters from existing franchises, I would want to create something original
that I can at least make content for, or to expand even further as established
characters or stories under my name as an artist.
Producing fanarts of popular entertainment or fandom had
helped me boost my skills in digital painting and had told the tutor that the
sole reason in doing so was to train myself, using existing characters to
practice painting, learning new techniques or methods that I find comfortable and
to establish a style that the audience would know me for. Fumio advised that I
should start thinking about more original content to illustrate, which is true
since I had experienced a good amount of time practicing digital painting by
doing fanarts. Now it is the time to put my skills to the test and start
illustrating and design my very own characters. I will continue creating fanarts
as the means to practice as much as I can and to hone my skills, while working
on my FMP simultaneously.
