Speed, Storytelling and Character

Via Scoop.it – Story and Narrative

Thursday morning I received and read the text for article, did some research, and started sketching. The rough sketches went out at 1:00pm. It doesn’t take that long to actually generate the sketches, but it does take a little time for the ideas to “bake in”, so to speak. You really need to get to know the character, his environment, how he might carry himself, how he would dress, etc. If this were an established character I’d only need to worry about conveying his story of the day – but here I need to first establish the character for the audience, and then also tell his current story.
