Preparation

I’ve been working on a graphic novel idea for a while now and am finally ready to commit a year of my life to creating it.  However with the story nailed down and most of the characters designed, plus a whole load of visual research done I thought I would prepare by drawing a short five page story to get into the swing of it. I have had difficulty deciding on a style for the overall look of the artwork, which started out looking a little cartoony, but I have found a naturalistic style which is comfortable to work with. Trying to tell a story in five pages is a challenge, but all the best writers are capable of doing this in both film and the comic book industry. I’ve included a scan of one of the pencilled pages, where I’ve been playing with perspective; I’ve also come to the realisation that I love drawing hands, over and out!
