I've used post-it notes for a while, mostly for writing out notes to myself that I then stick in whichever sketchbook I'm currently using, making my sketchbooks more like visual journals or really messy looking to do lists.
But while I was at CAW comic camp last year one of the other wonderful artists, Sarah Catherine Firth, used post it notes to gather her stories, using certain colours for certain types of stories. This colour co-ordinated try gathering of course appealed to my organised/librarian side and I decided to give it a go for writing out Oh Brother.
So here is a sneak peak of some of the stories that you might be seeing in my upcoming book!
This is all I've got so far but don't worry, I've got a lot more wall to fill.
Oh and here's a picture I found in the depths of my computer files. I did it about 5 years ago I reckon. Post-it notes forever!
Following on from my last post about how the design of the characters in my graphic novel, Oh Brother, have changed over the 7-ish years I’ve been working on the book, this post is about my absolute favourite thing: drawing emotions!
