Week 15: The semester draws to a close.

We've worked the past few weeks on our printed portfolios, 
which we just received today. I'll be uploading a digital version shortly, but for now, 
I wanted to share a piece of art that I made for my Graphic Novel course here at SXU. 

Our assignment was to create a 10-12 panel piece that transitioned in some way 
through time or space. I chose to focus on the changes that have taken place in my faith 
over the past few years by contrasting my current state of unrest with a time of certainty 
in my youth. My baptism.

I drew the comic using a blue pencil, and did 90% of the line work with a #2 Shader brush 
and Speedball Indigo Blue & Super Black ink. Some of the fine face work and 
all of the lettering were done in watercolor marker.

The comic measures 18x24 and is on Strathmore sketching paper.

I call it, "The heat from the lamps."
