Final Graphic Narrative




For our graphic narrative project we had to choose a song and then create a narrative to reflect the lyrics. I chose the song Sugar Water by Hollie Cook as it is a song that I like but looking back it would have been easier to do a song which had better lyrics!
I decided to use Roy Lichtenstein's work for inspiration and tried to do my own style of pop art similar to his. To create my graphic narrative I used pencil to draw it all and then went over it with black fine liner to make the lines stand out. Once I had completed all my drawing I took photos of ten and put them into Photoshop. Using the paint bucket tool I filled in all the different sections that I wanted to be coloured.

The use of colour throughout is quite subtle as I have only chosen to colour certain sections as you can see in the first image I only made the eyes, lips and top have colour. The text I used is my own handwriting so I did not use any other fonts or change the scale of it. I think it works really well as it is hand drawn. Images used as I said before are all hand drawn and has only had colour changed on it. I like the final outcome of my graphic narrative but if I was to do it again I would choose an easier song and also make sure I took my time as I rushed it quite a lot so it is definitely not as good as it could have been.
