a double page spread

with the narrative project very nearly finished, just small tweaks and such to be made i thought it might be appropriate to post a double page spread and a brief outline of a progression to final.

this is one of the final double page spreads, complete with hand rendered borders type and digitally added collage, one other suggestion was to reduce the black to a true black and really brighten the white, i was quite hesitant to do this as the end result looks quite harsh and takes the warmth out of the initial mark making. However in hindsight it was probably the best thing i did as the whole story reads far clearer. 

this is some development from pencils through to inks and the final stage of adding extras, collage, text and borders. Showing the progression at each stage puts into perspective the actual changes that have been made, quite often the many steps taken are easily forgotten.
