Tell an Untold Story: today's game plan

I spent this morning procrastinating drawing squares for a storyboard because I was in a bit of a rut. I realised that the layout I was considering isn't going to work because all the pages don't face each other and I was still really unsure what style to push forward. Since sitting waiting in the doctors for an hour I've had tome to reflect and I've thought of solutions to all of these problems:

  • I'm going to make it a Constantina book to solve this layout issue- works better can have person and location on one side and object on the other (maybe this would mean the media don't have to be so united?)
  • Also brainstormed lots of media ideas to try to create a coherent style which will unite my book: 


  1. Draw object with thinners, scan in and digitalise, add text 
  2. Could.. try using thinners for the setting too, paint in figure
  3. Try digitalising objects and doing settings with thinners.. find middle ground 
  4. Also maybe try drawing characters simply with colouring pencils 
  5. And drawing background then overlaying it with a cellulose thinned person?
  6. Try doing person in colour over black and white setting / match up colours in person with that of object
  7. Could try drawing person separate to background in colour/ alter transparency and overlay it in photoshop 

Testing out all these things is today's game plan..
