Interactive graphic story

I don't really like to make wip shots of my stuff but I like to see something made by others. For example images in books like Digital Art Masters and so. I hope someone may find this bit interesting, funny or entertaining in any other way. 

I think that drawing short comic story is quite useful for me. Well first of all from time to time I'm having doubts about what I'm doing here and what this course can teach me. Projects like this are quite awesome because otherwise I'd never be drawing my own comic. There's tons stuff I can learn from doing this and all that knowledge might become useful while pursuing my further goals.

Script writing.

I've spent some time reading 'Writing and Illustrating the Graphic Novel' by Daniel Cooney. And after some ' I knew that' and 'well that's obvious'  I've finally learned something new. In particular that was about script writing. Probably the part I need to concentrate most when we'll start next term. 

In general comics and graphic novels publishing it's popular to use terms like Marvel style and Full Scripts. 

Since I'll be responsible for fully visualising my bit of chosen story I believe that Marvel style script should work for me just fine. 

The other reason is that I'm not so much of a writer. I'm not sure how these people are doing them work but I'm suffering from loads of images filling my head and making everything in a complete mess. For example I find it really hard to start think about a medieval character and his story without visualising his look. At some point I'm loosing concentration and it all ends up thinking that it's easier to work after a drink or two... 

I've also made couple of points I need to take in advance when starting to laying out comic panels. Which are even more crucial when someone makes a short illustrated story :

* Define action place and time in the first couple of panels.

* One action per panel.

* Clear face expressions and hand movement.

* Body language.

* Three act structure: Beginning, Middle, End.
