Medium/ material used: Mixed media paper, color pencils, pens, and crowquill pen w/ ink wash
For this project, I was tasked with creating a comic strip that featured myself as an everyday superhero. The goal was to tell a clear, creative story while following specific guidelines, including using perspective drawings from an earlier assignment. I started brainstorming different ideas before developing a storyline set in New York City, where my superhero takes the train for the first time and helps an elderly passenger who misses her stop by flying her over the city to her favorite bookstore.
After outlining the plot, I created a storyboard to map out the dialogue and action. From there, I focused on refining the narrative, adding text, color, and making edits to pull everything together. The project pushed me to balance creativity with structure.
