Draw the model
Three ViewsFor a simple set of stamps, create three views of the figure (or more). All you do is draw the figure on an empty background. Position the figure in a natural pose with the mouth slightly open. That way, it can be used in shots where the person is both not talking and talking. The pictures should be at least 600 pixels tall. For the storyboards of the short motion picture "Seduced by the Dark Side!" which talks about the meaning of life and the movie "Star Wars", Wikiversity Film School needs stamps of a young person and an old person. We need both a set of stamps full height (as shown here) and a set of stamps for a medium shot (the upper half of the body.) |
