“Trellyn” A childhood story retelling

A scene of the barn that I used the play in as a child when I was on holiday, loosely lined and thoughtfully coloured

Light has become an incredibly important theme throughout my work
simplistic lighting effects help to set the scene persuasively

COLOUR

By designing stories with varying colour palettes, I can convey an array of emotions before the action of the frame has even been interpreted by the viewer

Each style has a different effect on the way that the person viewing the story understands the meaning behind each panel

simplistic dark/light colouring scheme
realistic tones
limited colour pallet, to convey atmosphere
black and white investigation
different views and “camera angles” keep the stories dynamic

“inspired by graphic novels and colourful children’s books, I translated real world actions and events into vibrant illustrations
