21st Century Kemet - Page 1

Description

The first page of the book (not including the foreword, index, etc) in progress.

I hate it.

It's not turning out how I'd pictured it in my head. I want to go through all the intended art concepts in the book via sequential storytelling but with a graphic design sense rather than the standard cartoonist sense.

There's still a third panel that should go down at the bottom third of the page, but still, I don't think it'd fix anything. Something's just not right.

I do notice that the coloring of the panels is a major reason, it's just too flat and um... spiritless? If only I could go for more of a painterly style as far as the coloring is concerned...

*stares at it for a while*

Okay, Project 21st Century Kement eliminated.

*grabs pencil...*

*stabs self*

First impression: the hand is awesome, great henna pattern.

Second impression: that thumb is way too bony for a girl's hand. :p

Advice: if you want to achieve a painted feeling, since now it's more drawn than painted, you're gonna have to adopt a different technique entirely. Coloring especially.
