Reflective Essay #1
Silhouettes
During this assignment I feel like I have really realized how much importance a silhouette is. I used to just see them as what they were, and that was the silhouette of an image or object. I didn't think that they were that key to what a picture has to offer. But since I have done this project I feel like silhouettes are very important for creating an icon or to capture a character. Looking at characters like Micky Mouse and Goofy, they are both simple and recreations of different animals. These two characters are universally known. And if you have a strong silhouette I feel like you will have a stronger connection with viewers.
The characters that I have started sketching out are sort of simple, and need more emphasis. The silhouette assignment has helped me, and lead me to discover what I need to do in my character creation process. When I did these silhouettes I wanted my characters to be able to be noticed without need of seeing facial features or other details. When I was creating the silhouettes of animals and other creatures it felt like it was easier to make them more unique than human-like characters.
I enjoyed this exercise and hope to do more like it. In the long run it will help with my creations and the process that I do when drawing. It's another thing that will be in the back of my mind to help.

Silhouettes 3
These are the third round of silhouettes. They're kind of simple, but I feel like the assignment is to keep doing them even if they aren't great and just keep working. Just to working and improving. Hopefully the next ones I do will be more unique than what I have done with these.
Web Comic
After a semester of talking about creating a webcomic my friend and I are finally trying to start it up. We've uploaded one comic already though it's kind of sketchy. He provides the storyboard and dialogue.
