Comic Book Study Through Roy Lichenstein

Abstract

Creative project abstract: “Compositional Comic Book. Exploring Roy Lichtenstein’s style through a sequential and storyboarding graphic format.” I am presenting Creative project allowing me to research and understand Roy Lichtenstein’s use of lines, colors, and design to create a comic book while allowing myself to experiment and design my own story based on his use of different emotional effects between pieces. The goals of my project: 1. Develop character(s) based on one piece of his work and apply the technique that he uses within that piece. 2. Study and illustrate use of his strokes while allowing myself to possibly understand his work in another medium 3. Study and use the visual effects that Lichtenstein is able to replicate in animation and motion graphics. The conclusion of this creative project will greatly impact in my future professional work as, not only an animator, but an illustrator as well to better understand how to become successful at telling a story while having a muse for a jumping point and, in the future, allowing me to create works through inspiration
