Let's draw!

Grab a piece of paper and marker and begin!

Prepare for lift off

We'll try to keep this part as simple as possible. We'll use plain white A4 paper and simple color markers. You could use fancy, expensive markers, but the markers used by kids work just fine.

The main idea for our story is to give five ideas to turn a negative, dark day into a positive, bright day.

We'll start by sketching very simple drawings. On the paper, put everything that pops up in your mind. If you wish to use a few words in your drawing, you can do so. However, try to draw as much as possible. Also, use as many pages as you need.

The following diagram is what our sketch looks like:

While sketching, we created our story. When we started, we didn't know what ideas we would generate and we didn't know we would end up with five ideas. While sketching, five ideas seemed a logical number. The only thing we knew before was that we wanted to turn something negative into something positive.

Now that we have the basic idea, we will put our story into a storyboard. This helps us to tell our story through visuals and helps us to know what drawings we'll need for our presentation.

The following diagram is our storyboard. As you can see, it consists of simple drawings only:

The next step is to draw the drawings we'll be using in our prezi. We created one drawing for the cloud with lightning.

As you can see in the next diagram, we have drawn lots of lightning. Later, we can find the best one and use that one in our prezi. So, your drawing doesn't have to be perfect. You can cut out what you don't need.

In the following diagram, you can see that we created one drawing for the five ideas:

Also, we made one drawing for the Sun:

In the next step, we will convert these drawings to vectors and make separate drawings of each vector.

Objective complete – mini debriefing

In this task, we started with a brainstorm, drawing simple objects. Then, we created our storyboard. Again, we only used very simple drawings. When we knew what our story was, we drew our final drawings.

The next step is to vectorize our drawings.
