Evaluation

Having completed all the research and drawings for my comic I have arrived at the end of the project and I can say that it has been a very educational experience. One of my main aims for this project was to actually finish a comic story idea which I feel I have accomplished with this project although there are aspects of it which I would have liked to be more finished: I would have liked to have finished colouring all the pages however I feel I have learned alot from the

colouring I did manage to do:

This was my first experiment colouring using photoshot, whilst I got some interesting results I felt that this style Of colouring that I was doing didn't fit with my style of drawing

Origional sketch

I decided to try a different more simple style of colouring which would add transparent colours so you could still see the lines underneath and could be layered like watercolour. This technique

worked alot better with my style of drawing.

although I only got to colour about 8 sheets in total out of the 30 I drew this really helped me to develop my skills on photoshop. I feel much more confident with using photoshop and I look forward to further developing my skills and finishing the colouring process on the remaining sheets after the project.

I also feel that this project has helped me gain a much better understanding of how comics work. Through research and my own work I have alot more knowledge about how panels and text lead on to each other in comics and the different art styles required depending on the story.

I also feel that my skills in terms of research have improved alot as well because although I had already read alot of the material I used for research in my project I look a them in a different more analytical way which helped me not only gain a better understanding of how they worked but it also gave me more insight into the stories themselves and in some Developed colouring style cases I discovered new things about them that I had missed in prior readings.

I have also improved and developed my style of drawing and feel that there is now more identity im my work, I have even improved upon some of my existing ideas from years ago which is a very useful benefit because this puts me in a better opportunity to revisit them and finish them.
