We were given five words, and we were to choose two, and respond with two sets of observed drawings. Then we needed to use it to create one panel of a scene reflecting each of our words.
I chose 'Stuffed' and 'Misunderstanding'. I did intend to do my observation drawings in Germany but... then it was too much fun to concentrate on drawing the people I got to meet. So instead, I made it up with some drawing in the *ahem* wonderful McDonalds.
I decided to do a nice long panorama for my final scene, and I was pretty happy with it!
When we got back, we were to add two extra panels to my narrative. I had two less days (I stayed a little longer to take my third-time-lucky driving test...I passed!) so I didn't have too long but I think it worked to my advantage.
The critique wasn't too bad, but I agree that it is lacking a specific atmosphere. But I think it does come across as place, and I think had I had a few more panels to work with, it could be something more interesting.
