Personal Narrative: Creating A Comic Cover

For my summative I want to create a two-part project that will include a comic book cover, and the first 2 panels that will teas what the story is about. In order to create this art piece, I will be using Mayfair paper cut in 7” by 9” s. This is because, the size imitates a common comic book size giving a real life feeling. Next I have decided to use Faber-castell and staedtler crayons as my medium. This is because it will allow me to create a neat look. I decided not to use acrylic or watercolour paint because we have not had enough practice using it in class. Firstly, for my comic cover, I will be displaying my 4 characters that I have practiced drawing in class this semester. These characters will include my self-portrait, Kanye West (caricature), …show more content…
Positioning her differently will help me show my ability to draw movement and using “stick figures” to draw cartoons. Furthermore, I will place 3 three remaining characters in the foreground allowing them to stand out from the background. When positioning the raccoon, me, and Kanye, I will place Kanye and the raccoon on either side of me to help balance the foreground. Secondly, in this project I will also be showing my ability to draw using perspective through the title itself. Instead of using “normal” 3D letters I will us perspective, to create the illusion that the letters are floating in the middle ground. Finally, for my background I will draw a brain. This will Allow me to represent my theme and tease the story I am displaying. This comic teaser will be displaying my feelings and thoughts of when I first came into cartooning through the eyes of my actual cartoons finding their place in my brain till I welcomed them into this world. Moving on, for my first 2 panels of the story I will show a close up of the four characters entering a door in my brain, this symbolizes the first time I walked into this class and I wanted to just run
