Me winning award.
Me with a pint of bitter with my work at the gallery.
My work on it owns in the gallery.
how your work was displayed ?
I like the display layouts but I think they should have made my work a bigger size than A3 as it was kind of small and not many people can see my artwork. They should have people's names and email address for a future employer who want to sign them up for their company .
how you felt about it.
I enjoy the show but I think it was a bit cramp in the room and should of extend the room a little bit more.I was surprised that I have got an award because I did not expect it which I am happy that I got the trophies as it looks shiny and I will be polishing it a lot now.The award I got was the most improved student.

Bengal culture and history
The culture of West Bengal is an Indian Culture which has its origins in the Bengali literature, music, fine arts, drama and cinema. People of West Bengal share their cultural heritage with the neighbouring Bangladesh.
West Bengal, home to legendary preachers, poets, saints, singers, film-makers, sportsmen and academicians, was once the cultural capital of India. Political thought slowly interlaced its web in the heart of the easily influenced Bengali and everything else took a backseat. Growth was replaced by grafitti and songs by slogans! Years of rallies, 'bandhs' and 'hartals' have taken their toll - Kolkata, the capital city, is now a shade of its former arrogant, proud and elegant self.
The state still holds the depth of the ‘Bhadralok’, the intelligent, sensitive and cultured Bengali who has a desire for attitude, literature, music, football and/or cricket depending on the season. The people of Bengal love their heroes...Sri Aurobindo and Sri Ramakrishna; Rabindra Nath Tagore, Mother Teresa and Amartya Sen; tennis’ Leander Paes, and cricketer Saurav Ganguly, nicknamed "the Prince of Kolkata" for his sterling performances on the field! Satyajit Ray, the film maker, have become identical with Bengal. The people are also great travellers. Go anywhere in the world, be it off-season in Leh or Christmas in Montreal - there are bound to be Bengalis around. The social fabric is ranked and patriarchy is still the focal point of general family life.
trunks sword
Trunk is a dragon ball character who as came from the future and he carries his sword which he got he from Taipon which as been shown in 13 movies. I did not like the story plot but I did like the fighting scene as I enjoy seeing Goku fight in which he developed a new move which I enjoyed in the movie . I do like trunks sword because it looks like it been very detailed. I like how Trunks handles the sword as he holds it like a branch .I would like to own a sword like Trunks but I would probably drop the sword and stab my foot with the sword.

page 3
Black and white version : I think it makes a comic look cool and really detailed which makes it look like a good manga page. The details in backgrounds are really good and they are reflecting the comic really well. I have missed one speech bubble of one of the zombies. The SFX(sound effects) could have been done a lot better for the fonts. I had used the desiderata tool in Photoshop which has been changed into black and white .
Colour: It shows a differnet emotion from the other 2 pages. The colour of the sky could have been done a lot better as it looks more like a sea then a sky. The green part in the sky is supposed to be rocks which should been same colour as the wall colour.The blending tool should have made it a lot better. I have really improved on my last comic.
page 3 development
This is my sketch on my last page. This is my rough sketch before I have developed my drawing onto a graphic tablet.I have used my sketch book,pencils, metal ruler and some fabric colors which are good but if I had time to use them more I think it would look better.I used a scanner to scan my work on a computer.
This is my outline drawing.I have been using Adode illustrator to draw out my sketch again which I have been using a graphic tablet for my drawing. I have been moving class rooms and I did find it peaceful for me to my work on.The border has taken some of the room on my sketches but thats how it happens..... . I have used a pencil tool.
This is when I colour my 3 sections and then I colored them in which has made it a lot more detailed. I have got used a filling layer tool after one week which is difficult tool to use. I love the sun design in section 3 .I have used a different brush tool for the sun which was called a Wet Sponge which is likes a blends brush. It did go well with my designs but I wish I could have used the tool on my previous work. I am glad that I found it out and now I'm going use this brush tool in the future.I have finished coloring section 4 & 5. it is making progress on the page, I thought it was not going to work but it looks a really cool design and I like the eye effect more. I have used the same tools for my previous post but I did use the rubber tool to rub out the eyebrows so I could see it a lot better. I think the blood should have been done a lot better on the 4th the section.
I have finished my design on section 5th,6th,7th, part 8, & 9 are really good. I did struggle on doing my 7th because I did not know where the back of my characters feet were so I struggled figuring out where it is but I work around the problem. I also noticed that I do good toes even on 8th section they are both right footed. I forget to add the bandages which I had to add back on my character using photoshop as I didn't have Illustrator at home. I like the last section eye as it give the character an emotional feeling to him. I am beginning to like my page a lot..
The 9th section is coming along well and I like the blood effect on the zombie shirt as it shows two colour effects on the character. I've done the blood really well but could improve on the blood a bit better . Tsuki (left character ) looks really good and I need to improved my sideviews a lot more but I still need to practice which I am doing over half term for the next course.
Section 9 has got a lot better as the background is added and I have used the dodging tool to make it a lot better too . I like the light and dark part which shows two different sides of the story. I think the character have been developed well in a short time.
This is my comic script and it has been checkd and corrected by a Teacher assistant.I have created the speech bubbles in photoshop by using the custom shape tool. It has more of a variety than CSS than CS2.So I had to wait untill I got back to college which took some time.

page 2 finsh
Colour vison : The bubble speech in the last section on the zombies could have been done a lot better as you cannot see much of the text idea. It is my fault and I should have fixed it up before I published it. .I think page 2 looks better than page 1 designs as it has got a lot more detail in the designs which looks like I have improved each time I have drawn the comics.
Black and white version : I think it has made the blood a lot more detailed and it not showing up as much.

comic 2 development
This is my skeatch design on page 2.I have used a pencils,ruler and rubber to design my comic page. I have designed it by myself as I didn't use any template for this. I am proud of my work because its how I developed from just 4 years ago as that was when I started drawing manga. I would like to still carry on drawing because in want to get better in drawing my own characters.
I did my comic pages in CC Illustrator which is a lot easier to use.The software has helped me draw my ideas on the computer but if I did it in Photoshop it would look like a big mess which would have caused some trouble. I think it looks a lot better then the original drawing as I have been improving on in my design.The outlines will be colored in photoshop which would makes it more easier for me to colour in the border of the comic .In illustrator I only used tools like pencil & the Lining because they were the only tools I needed..
I have done my sketch on illustrator which looks better.Now I have started colour the page in Photoshop which I found it easier then using illustrator to color my comic page. The first 3 section on my page has been colored in.I do like the zombie as it is the best character I added colour in my comic page not in the other 2. I have been using the fill layer tool which is like a solid based colour tool, before I used the brush tool to make a some shading for the character so they would look more detailed. I have used different brush techniques for the shading in the characters. I have used the burning tools and dodging tools so I could make more detail on my characters & backgrounds designs. I then used the blurring tool so I could blend them with my characters design so the rest of them didn't look like as if they were too solid . I did struggle on the first section because I did not know how to make it gorey looking but I did figure it out by playing around with the colors .
This is when I started coloring in my final scene before going on to the 3rd page.It looks like the characters are coming alive which is very cool to look at.I do like how I shaded in the characters as it makes it look manga like.I have used the same tools on the picture before this stage. I did struggle with the lines being missing on my page which was a stressful job to overcome and I did find away around it.I have finished my zombie and the other main characters which have made them look more alive. The background has made it look like my character as been split in half but it is the first half of the background idea. .I did not struggle with anything on this part because I was starting to learn about the tools.
