Girl of Glass

Two very productive weeks with Stine Spedsberg are over and today we published our new webcomics, which was celebrated with beer and chips in class wuhuuu!

The first page of my story "Girl of Glass" is down below but in the future it will be updated every Wednesday on this page: http://girlofglassstory.tumblr.com/.

Web comics and branding

This week and the next we are learning how to make web comics and how to create ourself a brand. We are being taught by the Danish illustrator, Stine Spedsberg who is the creator of StineStregen -  http://www.stinestregen.dk 

The first days of this week we had to think of three words that we want to use for our brand. The words that we mean describes ourselves and the stories we create or want to create.  I must admit that is more difficult than it sounds. My words are: Poetic, sweet and dark. These words are going to be a sort of a foundation of a story, which will be made into a webcomic that we are developing the next 8 weeks. 

I am currently working on my story, which is going to be about this little woman who was born in Photoshop today...

20 Pages in two weeks

Enjoying the winter break after having spent two intense weeks working on the 20 page stories we started creating in 2013. Both of the weeks we got mentored by the American cartoonist Dean Haspiel who came all the way from New York to help us create comics. 

We all had to set a goal for the two weeks and my goal was to make all my 20 pages in pencils and I did that so that felt pretty satisfying. So now I am looking forward to go back and start  trying out with inking, lettering and coloring (maybe even in Photoshop). That is going to be fun, fun, fun! 

My story is called "The Orange Tree" and I did the pencils in A3. I will post the entire story when it is closer to the finished version but for now I have a couple of examples of how it looks at the moment.
