Design Plan

Recently, I have just completed the Design Plan. It took a while for me to finish it because there was a lot of questions. I think it was well worth it though because it made me think of ways I could add actions and animations to the scenes I have drawn so far. The design plan also helped me by breaking down the details of my scenes, so I could see them in a different perspective. Overall, the design plan was a great experience.
