Project 4b: Telling Stories

For this project I am tasked with making an 8-page comic based on a given song.

The song I decided to use was Petula Clark’s “The Other Man’s Grass is always Greener”. My initial ideas consisted of a character in a basic yet unhappy life. Looking at the lyrics I came up with a plot for the comic. After reviewing the page drafts I had created I felt it was much better to design them digitally which led to the final creations. I learned that even though I used toning to express a dark emotion for the character, facial expressions would help strengthen the overall emotion for the character. I also learned that mixing colours alongside the main colour green would help make the piece visually more pleasing and perhaps realistic for the viewer.
