During their final major project assignment, the student researched themes for their watercolor that matched the brief and pitch. They created mood boards and brainstorms to design a futuristic character in retro clothing. The student found adding watercolor to their character sketch challenging to balance the water, paint, and shading without making a mess. Overall, the student found the independent research, production, and time management of the final major project difficult.

1. Evaluation –
During my assignment of my final major project my production of my final water
colour started with the research into my selected time and story. I decided that I
had to choose themes and ideas that suited and best match what I was writing
about in my brief and spoke about in my pitch. I found the process both a
challenge and an open opportunity to do with it what I want. So when I started
the production I started by creating mood boards and brainstorms of how I
wanted my water colour and final design to look and how I wanted it to fit into
my game. The difficulty with creating my design is the fact that I chose to create a
futuristic character that wore retro type clothing, so long worn coat and clothing
of the same wear and tare. The mood boards in my production log show these
types of clothing and designs so once I had compiled these images and drawn
from them, I saw a clear and easy design for my final character. When I started
my final product I decided to make a simple sketch of my character, then later I
added water colour for my finished project. Adding water colour to the sketch
was difficult because I needed to find the right balance between the water, paint
and shade so that it would not be simple and a mess by the time I finished the
water coloring of my picture. I also knew that once I had started the water colour
on a specific segment there was no going back to change what I had previously
drawn. Overall I found my FMP difficult and challenging as I had to work
independently for the project and all the research and production was up to me
to find and compile into a production log and meet within the boundaries of the
schedule.
