My Final Comics


For this comic, I wanted the writing to be unique to grab mu audiences attention due to the comic itself being quite plain. I feel that the font is what makes the comic look fun to read. It makes it stand out among my other comics as its not just reading sentences from left to right. The colours of the font dont draw too much attention from the drawings itself as well as complimenting the background and the colours used on the girl featured in the comic. Though, due to the two blank spaces at the end, I had to improvise as I didn't notice them until I finished colouring majority of the comic. 
In the future, I will make sure to take the right measurements and resize some parts of the image to make it fit perfectly on the size canvas I use.


Seeing as this comic wasn't so colourful, I wanted to make it look more attracting by adjusting the fonts of the writing instead of keeping it all the same. I wanted to only add colour to the scene to where the boy is happy to represent that the Depression makes everything seem Black and White, only when someone makes him happy and supports him is when he sees the world in colour, which is also what I tried to convey with the flowers in the 3rd part of the comic as the colour is dripping away and fading to grey.


As for this comic, I wanted to spend more time on the colouring and the design of the character as it focuses on the illness which is most personal to me. As I said in the design of my comics, I gave the character red hair to show that she feels different compared to everyone else and therefore is going to get judged for it. As the colours were rather vibrant, I didn't want to get too fancy with the writing. I wanted it to be simple yet readable but without looking to plain, making the comic boring to read. Towards the end, I changed the style of the writing as I felt that the writing before wouldn't capture my audiences attention. However, it was too late to go back and change the writing on the first two comics before it. In the future, I will make sure to plan ahead and test out new hand writing before applying it to my comics.
