digital colouring x ink brush pen
The comic presents a summary of my personal account of the events of 2025-2026.
Along the way, I use starlings to help emphasise aspects of the story.

The process
always start off by attempting some stylised “realism” drawings, once im comfortable in
my understanding of my subject, I move on to experimenting.
I wanted the bird to be quick to draw, so I used watercolour to try and make the bird “blobby” The bird ended up being
a lot simpler, for efficiency, I chose to colour the comic digitally rather than the originally planned, inking and colouring traditionally.
Storyboarding was done quickly and slightly erratically.
When making storyboards, I went through around 4 initial storyboards before
making the mock-up book ( as seen below). This method helped me mess around with panel layouts a lot.
