COMICALLY COMIC 2

 

MORE RESEARCH

 

Although I had already done much research I still kept going back and forth to this research whilst making work and also looking at new sources such the movie titles of the movie “Grease”, a favourite of mine. I chose to look at these because I think the illustratiojns are brilliant, I absolutely love the lettering and I think it’s a great way of presenting characters and I thought it was something I could in my novel. I also looked at a collaboration comic of Robert Crumb and Harvey Pekar, a couple of “Mome” comics which are comics anthology published by Fantagraphics Books and “Kafka” another comic book by R. Crumb.

Here are some of the illustrations that stood out to me whilst doing some research and which I thought would help me in my own process, details I thought I could use or would show me how to successfully create an ambience, reflect a mood, set a scene. See the notes highlighted in yellow.
