I used an experience I had making cookies not too long ago. (Except in my case I remembered the sugar before I stuck the cookies in the oven.) The first panel is what I started out with, and the rest of the story just popped in as I was completing it. I may do more comic pages this year. They're fun to do!
Love it! The expressions are priceless.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree with Laura more! Spot-on expressions! When I was newly married, I was going to surprise my hubby with choc chip cookies. I used 1 Tbsp of salt and baking soda instead of teaspoons. They looked perfect and smelled great. The first bite was like this: "Mmm, yum...oh...hey....salty....GROSS!!!" hahaha ")
ReplyDeleteYeah, great expressions! And, cute penguin. :)
ReplyDeleteWe are all owling around these days- see Joy's blog? I luv this- I love your sequential stuff!! Put some in the portfolio this year!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is great, Diandra! Such a sweet and simple idea and I love that you took it from a personal experience. The comic format is perfect and shows your talent at sequential images. The character is so cute and I have to agree, the expressions are really well executed. Man, if you can keep this up, your portfolio will be even MORE amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the positive feedback, ladies! I'm definitely up for putting comic-style pages in my portfolio. ;)
ReplyDeleteThese are terrific, Diandra! May I share your sketches at one of my future illustration workshops? I think it will inspire them when we cover the topic of character sketches. All best!
ReplyDeleteJoy, sure! Thanks for asking.
