Mr Hafiz's Lecture: Story Transition
6 Types of Transition:
- Moment to Moment - Requires the reader to construct very little between comic frames.
- Action to Action - Shows a single subject moving over a progression of actions.
- Subject to Subject - Stays with a scene or idea, but moves from one part of the scene to another. It also requires a lot of reader participation.
- Scene to Scene - Requires even more reader participation because they cover a large amount of time and space.
- Aspect to Aspect - Artist encourages the reader to cast a wandering eye about the scene. Sometimes, the image reflect a mood rather than given place.
- Non - Sequitur - Panels have no identifiable relationship to one another. Not likely to see this in the average comic strip.

EXERCISE
Week 1: Vormator Challenge

Using the pen tool, we trace the shape and made a character.
 |
| Fig. 2.1: First Design |
I made a friendly creature. Its a cute fox that lives in the cold weather, a winter fox.
 |
| Fig. 2.2:Second Design |
I only changed the design of the hands. I feel like fingers were too many so I modified it a bit and I think it looks a bit better.
 |
| Fig. 3: Colour Selection |
The colour variations that I done.
 |
| Fig. 3: Colour & Shading |
I choose it light blue and white because of winter's colour scheme. Green eyes and pink ears for spring to show that its friendly.
