Drawing Words & Writing Pictures: Week 5 Exercise 1

So here’s week five’s in-class exercise.  The idea is to select a panel from the “Jack and Jill” story and re-thumbnail it three different ways–in this case, I’ve used the penultimate panel from the second page.  I don’t think I got as adventurous here as the directions really suggested, and I probably should have experimented with more formal elements instead of just changing up the reader’s viewpoint as I did.

I think the assignment this week is to fully develop one of these into a pencilled panel and I’m thinking that I’ll settle on some combination of the first and second panel below.  The first is pretty much what’s in the original thumbnailed page; the second is drawn as if we’re seeing it from above–which I like–but, I haven’t done a very good job rendering the perspective; and the third has a lot of graphic design appeal, but it’s pretty much the same panel arrangement as the first couple of panels from the second row of the same page.
