When initially starting to turn my narrative into a comic, I found it useful to have the standardly written narrative. It enabled em to better plan how I wanted to make my panels, and it allowed me to further extrapolate my drawings that would accompany them. While writing, I also incorporated many styles from McCloud, Spiegelman, and Sacco. This, I deduced, would allow me to possibly select one in the end and apply that to my final draft. However, after the positive feedback I received for my comic, I may decide to keep the comic interesting with these multiple styles. Also, the comments I received appreciated my use of the “books”, and at the end the pencil, as people. I thought it was an interesting take. Additionally, the comments noted that I adequately used camera angles to show movement and different subjects. Perhaps what I am most proud of is how each comment adequately noted the theme and mood of my comic.
