Page 2 of my graphic novel


Week 5: this page the mentor goes into the carnival owners tent to bribe his way into the carnival to get his own tent. For this I followed my usual process of penciling, inking and colouring. I wanted to not put as much detail in each drawing but rather to get the point across and each panel flows really well with the narrative. I took into consideration where the most darker shadows would come from. In this case because there are hanging lights across the higher walls of the tent I chose to have the shadowless come from the bottom. In each page I try to have atleast one thing that stands out from each other page wether it's layout, complex drawings etc. For this page I chose to draw one panel from an angle. This helps keep the viewer interested because the panels are now more visually stimulating. To colour this I chose a colour palet which I use for my composition. For each scene or new environment I'll change the colour pallet so the reader can break down the story easily which creates a longer lasting impression. The thing I learned from this is how to integrate certain photo textures in my work to create an interesting blend which gives my art style a simplistic but realistic look. I also learned how to make my comic pages more interesting by creating atleast one panel that stands out from the rest.
