For my book on creating graphic novels, I’ve reached a point where I plan on discussing the things that graphic novels can do that others cannot, or at least not in the same way. To help make the point, I decided to do a series of digital drawings that show the same location through the four seasons. (The text that goes with them will beef up the matter, of course.)
I spent all morning working on the first two.
This is Spring
And then there is Summer
Of course… After working on them, I realized that the details were likely to be lost in print because they will be so reduced. Ah well…. at least I know that in “Summer” there are three kids playing tag on the far side of the water, and two swimmers in the water. (Take my word for it.)
