My Comics

These are three sketch designs I came up with for the comics I will be producing for my Personal Project. Each one features a different mental illness. The first, is Anxiety. Second, Depression and the third is Schizophrenia. Each comic is not only drawn in a different style, but the characters featured are all unique with different hair styles, hair colour, skin colour and gender. This is to ensure that my comics can relate to a wide audience.   

I wanted to make the anxiety comic longer than the others as I feel it needed more explanation as well as its a more personal topic relating to myself, making it more important to me. 

The depression comic is quite short as I felt most people already know what the illness is already and therefore didn't need much explanation. I believe that short, quick comics grab the attention of a more wider range of audience then longer comics.

As for this comic, I wanted to keep it short as the illness itself can go into a lot of explanation, so I tried to get the main focuses of it and make it simpler for others who dont have the illness to understand without getting confused or mistaking some of the traits someone with it might have, for example, being violent, which is not the case. I wanted to make this comic longer than the one about Depression as I have a very close friend who suffers from this mental illness, making it more personal to me. But I didn't want to lose my audiences attention, hence why it is shorter and more to the point.
