I don't have a Comic image yet so I scanned an image from a The Walking Dead Comic just to have a play with the tools.

For this Hobbit image I wanted to have a go at editing an original scan in colour and look at stripping out the colour (as in the blue line removal lesson). I then had a very rough go at recolouring. I learnt that in this scenario that the writing already on the page can cause some issues. This doesn't look particularly great, but I learnt some good lessons from it.

Here are a few comic pages playing around with the comic functionality. Looking at creating comic sections that are considered isolated areas to draw in and different areas where an image or drawing crosses into them all, but not on the background. This took a bit of playing around (the tool default names are a bit different now to the lessons I think?), but I think I got there after playing around a bit. Really excited about creating my own comic page format with my own images!

I have to admit I found it a bit frustrating once I got a few shapes together and I wanted to get them all appropriately lined up to represent a city block! lol I kept struggling with how to reselect an object if I changed to a non 3D tool for some reason as well, but it was an interesting exercise.

Conversely, I had great fun creating these guys! :-) Played with their proportions to make them 'Hobbit like' and tried representing some very weighted and relaxed resting poses, as if two Hobbits had stopped for a chat whilst on a nice wander through the countryside! I was quite pleased with these and enjoyed creating them. I saved the body types and poses as suggested in the class.
