Overall, I am proud of what I have done in the module. I really enjoyed it this two brief, especially the second one. I finally can do something that I always want to do. Before I was only doing work for the uni for the module for the score, this time I feel like I am drawing for myself at last. I can finally excited about my work, and spend time to do research. Because Chinese art cultural is actually not what I really familiar with... I was very ashamed about it, now this time I have the chance to learn I feel very excited. But There are a lot of things to know and learn, I need to figure out each building, pattern, clothes are from which dynasty. At first I even want to create my own story and character but I realised that's too much work and research to do so I listened to my peer advice which is select a story or character from book or history as a reference. So I choose 'Nirvana in Fire' as my reference. 'Nirvana in Fire' is a famous Chinese drama which based on Hai Yan's novel with same name. I don't want to copy the idea from the drama completely; I made a few changes in my character design. For example, I made the main character Mei Changsu as a woman (in the original creation Mei Changsu is a male character). Therefor Mei Changsu has a very close relationship with Princess; they are more like a sister now. In the Drama the actor who played the emperor of Liang was amazing, so I decided to put he in my work too.
In this module I have experimented with many new things, for example, drawing architect, use friendly color choice for children, learn some Chinese culture. I definitely have a lot more to improve, like my composition, colour choose, line quality and drawing skills. I think it is time for me to focus a little bit. Because these two years I just kept trying new, but I feel like my drawing skills weren't improve very much. I will go to study three months course of art to focus a bit more on my skills. Hopefully, I will become more confident when I back from summer.
