Title: Ryth Winter Scene [December 2006]
Media: Digitally coloured pencil sketch
Notes: I've been really inspired by Jan Brett books since I was little where the little details in the decorative borders just keep telling stories in and around the main scenes. Most pictures pan down and end where the panel frames it as if it were being shown through a window (except in things like biological structure drawings), this method rather just splits the scene and keeps going. I've been playing around with similar intentions while comicing to show both above and below water aspects of a scene and figured - why not dirt too? Messed around with the sketch for a bit and then it became a cutaway scene, and I'm having more fun with it than I thought I could. All of a sudden I can tell all sorts of snippets of stories and lives without even having to segment them into the border. Its really really fun.
