Compositional Development Considering book compositions, how could I present my characters. - what is their purpose?
Simple square / book format. - possible putting the characters into their work place environments. Giving the children some context may be beneficial.
How could text be incorporated aectively?
Having each page with a cut out hole where the face goes - when the page is turned it will appear as though the person is wearing an outfit.?

Astronaut compositional development - am I creating an additional narrative? unsure at this stage.

I am finding that drawing my roughs at this stage is a lot easier than it normally is? - think it is because i am becoming so comfortable drawing my character - it makes things quicker and easier.
helmet?? or will that distract for the face perhaps‌
-When developing the characters for the purpose of the flip book - i have realised that i need to consider each section carefully… - each character will be split into three sections…
- for the book to look well exacted, this imagery will need to be contained within each section.
- eg 1 - the head - all hair must be above neck - where each head is cut off.
- eg 2 all hands/ arms must be kept within the middle section.
- I thought this would be really restricting and difficult to achieve at first, but in considering the hand placement carefully, I was able to create some really interesting compositions. The different arm placements definitely adds to the images and helps set them apart from one another.

- I found roughs a really great way for me to develop practically and thoroughly. - It was a lot easy to do this when i have a figure template to work around! - Considered background objects and other well known items associated with a specific role.
