These are the thumbnails for the City, Moriana. I found this city challenging to do as it was hard for me to imagine Moriana and its hidden face together and didn't really know how to put the two together as one city. My favourite is 105 as I like the way I have done the build and the columns.  

Here are my thumbnails for the city, Leonia. My two favourites from this city are 97 and 99. I like these ones because of the way I did the city layout along with how I made it look like a city, as I imagine Leonia too look like a big skyscraper city.

Here are my thumbnails for the city, Isaura. My favourite thumbnail is 94 as I liked the way I have layout the sketch and how it is a full view of the city along with my shading and the contrast it creates.

 These are my thumbnails for the invisible city, Fedora. I don't think I'm going to be doing Fedora as my main city as it is the one I've found most challenging to do so far and did have as much fun doing them than others. My favourite thumbnail would be 80 as I like the way I positioned the rooms and the shading.

Here are my thumbnails for the city of Esmeralda, in the Invisible Cities project. My favourite thumbnails are 70 and 71. I like 70 because of the way I coloured and the shape of the tunnel-like tube and entrance. 71 one is my other favourite because of the way I did the roofs and that it actually looks like a cluster of buildings.

 Today we practised using coin shaped shapes how to do different timings and spacing to make the animation appear faster or slower.  For this coin, it is evenly spread and close together to create a nice even line which is going at a consistent speed. Whereas this one has a faster speed compared to the first even tho they both start and finish at the same time. This is because the spacing of the two is different. in the first one, each frame is placed evenly and consistently, so there are no gaps between each frame. Whereas the second one has fewer frames in the centre, which makes it appear faster, even tho they have the same number of frames and start and finish at the same time. This allows me to see the difference between timing and spacing, and what I can do with it.  The same can be said for the next two pendulums. Both start and finish at the same time and yet have different speeds. This is all due to the spacing of each frame. ...

For these, I tried to use only black, white and grey to create these stills by using the polygonal lasso tool, and then I refined someone them by adding colour to them. I have two favourites that I did in today's toolkit lesson today. The first is the landscape with the trees and arches. I like this piece because of the background I made adds to the shapes I made that creates the image. I really like how the trees add a strong contrast to the piece. My other favourite is the first How to train your dragon still I did. For this one, I really like the shapes I made with the polygonal lasso tool as I matched the scene well. Another reason this is one of my favourites is the way I highlighted the shapes and gave it more details.  

Here are some more of my thumbnails for our Project Invisible Cities, Focusing on the city Ersilla. I really like these thumbnails because of the shading to some of them as I feel it adds more depth to these quick sketches. My favourite thumbnail is 53, which shows what I imagine the houses of Ersilla to look like. It is my favourite as I like the way I have positioned the house/tent along with my shading.

Here are some more of my thumbnails for our Project Invisible Cities, Focusing on the city Diomira. My favourite thumbnail from these is number 45 as I like how I drew the lines of statues and how I showed the street. One thing I think could have explored more would have been the food strolls, and what types of food they may have had in these lead-lined streets.

Here are some more of my thumbnails for our Project Invisible Cities, Focusing on the city Baucis.  I imagined this city to be like the Elven Kingdom, Lothlorien in Lord of the rings, giving the city that mystical vibe and that fantasy element to it.  I however also imagined it as a city of tree house all made in unique and different ways so it created a mismatched appearance. I like my second page of thumbnails more than my first as I like the lightness of my line and my use of grey to show different parts of the drawing so it isn't one mess of lines. 

These thumbnails sketches are from when we had our first digital painting and photoshop class. These thumbnails are from the city Octavia in Invisible cities, where I felt the city was a network of nets with lots of different Items and buildings hanging from them, one such thing being hanging baskets. I also feel like that it splits into different districts the lower the city got. I really like my lines in these thumbnails as I as it is easier to see what I've drawn and I like the way it looks.

Here is the start of my thumbnails for our Project Invisible Cities, Focusing on the city Armilla. One of the main thing which I though Armilla looked like was that this city of pipes, baths and taps were on a platform that overflowed over the edge and created a waterfall effect as he said it could be seen as enchanting like a teacup and saucer was overflowing. I feel like my lines could have been clearer so it is easier to see the thumbnails and what everything is.
