Composing Comics — Dream

Composing Comics — Dream - student project

First of all, incredibly helpful class!

For the project I decided to make a comic of a dream I had.

This is the finished page with the composition grid. In the final drawing some objets ended moving a bit to one side or the other, and are not as aligned as I had planned. I guess the intentions of the original sketch are still evident. As you can see I went with a very simple 3 × 3 panel sequence.

Here is only the main shapes of the frying pan with the egg and the lamp with the lightbulb —they look like the same shape to me, only reflected.

I don't think there's an obvious pattern. I guess I was mostly concerned with the placement of the objects along the lines of the grid to make some sort of dramatic effect. I'll have to work on that.

Aaaand the finished page:
