PROGRESS

a. Visual research

Figure 1.0: Webtoon website

For the visual research part, I began by looking through Webtoon to get inspirations for art styles. I actually read comics or manga a lot so I had some ideas on what to do for this.

Figure 1.1: Researching for the backgrounds

My comic would be a quite common comics that we see I supposed. It will be some teenagers, school, animals as in fantasy kind of story. It was quite the straight forward kind, so I did the research about how I would like my backgrounds be.

b. Idea exploration

Figure 1.2: Character design

I started out by sketching out my characters, this should be the main character in the story and her name is Yuu. As for the kitten here, it is actually the same person and its nickname is called Yuki. So, this character should be a so called cat-girl.

Figure 1.3: Story board

This part, I split 20 drawing boxes and kind of sketch out how the story will be.

Figure 2.0: Eyes Improvements

For this one, I managed to get better and better in Adobe Illustrator in the process of doing line arts in this software. As you can see, these two pairs of eyes belongs to one character and the this is just me showing the comparison of the eyes development for the character. The bottom pair of eyes is the final design of eyes for the character, which improvised from the top pair of eyes.

Figure 2.2: Export panels

After I have done all the panels, I exported them out and put them into one file as it should. I managed to use 20 panels for this comic.
