Narrative Drawing comic
Hey loyal readers! Back for another installment of some Narrative Drawing assignments.
Unfortunately, because I am playing such a big game of catch-up with posting my artwork, I'm not going chronologically. But this is one of my favorite projects, so I wanted to post it now. This assignment was to create two characters and then draw three comics with three or four panels in them. I had three originally, which will be the first three in the post, but my professor liked them so much she asked me to do three more, which I also included here. I chose to do a comic about peanut butter and jelly called The Sort-of-Adventures of P.B. and Jane. P.B. is this sort of hapless but endearing character, and Jane is very straightforward and doesn't even entertain P.B.'s ridiculousness. There are other minor characters, too, which I will introduce along the way. I will also include my commentary on each comic strip.
This was the first idea I came up with for the strip, and the first strip I drew for the series. I didn't include any extraneous characters because I wanted to introduce P.B. and Jane and illustrate (literally, haha) the basis of their relationship, which is real genuine affection covered up by sarcasm and puns. Kind of like my relationships with the people I love in real life. Heh. And plus, there's a pretty funny peanut butter-related punchline.
This was just another chance at a funny food-related joke that shows the twisted kind of friendship between P.B. and Jane. Jane can be kind of mean sometimes, especially in this strip, but I like to think it's because she really likes him deep down. Plus they're just next to each other all day every day, so you can't be nice all the time.
Everybody loves Fluff. Enough said.
This strip was the first one in my second three-strip batch. I was trying to introduce a new secondary character who would still fit into the theme of peanut butter and jelly. I came up with All-Natural Peanut Butter, who is a total hippie, with dreadlocks and a tie-dye package. And of course, Jane's got the food pun at the end, because Jane is just so sharp.
After all of the peanut butter and jelly related puns, I decided to go more for an actual plotline. So, I introduced a possible love interest for P.B., a bottle of chocolate sauce aptly named Saucy. She is pretty much just a flirty bimbo, basically the opposite of Jane. Now, I have to put in a little disclaimer that says that this is not how I feel about chocolate sauce in real life-- chocolate sauce is really one of my favorite things in the cabinet.
