For my comic strip, I decided to take a comedic approach and shrink my husband. Being that he likes to be the centre of attention, he was happy to pose for photos and then the hard work began.
I found the most difficult part of the process was coming up with a concept. Inspired by a cross between Alice In Wonderland and Land Of The Giants, I plotted my story line and created a story board so I knew the photos required for each frame.
Experimenting with Photoshop was a lot of fun and I enjoyed the vast array of tutorials available on line. I worked through each frame very quickly and wish I had more time to apply more effects (in particular, I would have liked to adjust Craig's appearance into that of a typical comic book character).
I decided to draw the background in an effort to add depth to the scene. Initially, I had photographed backgrounds but I found these took away from the actual image and made the scene look very cluttered. I think the result (whilst my drawing skills are appalling) turned out well.
While this particular entry was quite rushed, I am happy with the final result and pleased to be sharing it with you.
