Fridays are comic day for our 30 day challenge, and today your challenge is to show a progression.
People who draw and paint often feel like everything they make needs to be completely different and original to what they made before. This isn’t true for paintings, and it’s definitely not true for comics, in which similarity in a sequence can provide a foundation on which energy, interest, and narrative can be built.
Today, make a series of panels that show a progression. From panel to panel, consider changing just one thing. It might be a facial expression, a body posture, point of view, or zooming-in/zooming-out of a scene. Simple changes can be very effective.
Artists can draw, paint, photo collage, or gif their way into a winner.
