22 Panels Comic Art Show

As part of the 22 Panels Comic Art Show in Falmouth this year we (just a few of us) took part in an interactive comics installation and workshop : Town. 
First we did some warm up comic exercises, creating characters and 'filling in the blanks' on some comic layout sheets provided by Jack Teagle!
This was a really fun exercise and having some panels filled in already made it quite easy to create a narrative (a task i usually find quite difficult). It was also really handy having a comic illustrator there for advice!

This is a character i created from three two adjectives and a noun chosen by other people! This was a challenge but a fun activity to get the creative juices flowing!

This is the summative comic i created from my character and based within the town we created in the afternoon.

To establish back stories and influence our comics we made a small (and rather odd) cardboard town!







I had a really good time in Falmouth and the work we did was really helpful in my understanding the structure of comics and different ways of generating ideas for creating sequential images and narratives. We got to meet some interesting people and because our group was quite small we were able to talk informally and get some valuable advice for our artwork and practise.
