As I don't have much experience in comic-making I decided to look at different comic books to research more into how a comic is constructed.
First, I looked at 'Persepolis' by Marjane Satrapi. While 'Persepolis' is tonally, and content-wise incredibly different from what I intend to make, I am looking at 'Persepolis' entirely superficially here. What I was more interested in is Satrapi's simplistic artstyle, and the way she places dialogue. Her comic is incredibly easy to read, from a layout point-of-view, and the progression is very clear, which are attributes I would like to include in my own work.
Next, I looked at 'Vignettes of Ystov' by William Goldsmith. 'Ystov' was a big influence on the technique I used to create my final outcome, as he also uses a light-box to paint without a sketch, which is a method of painting I've used before, but it was interesting to see it used to make comics.
The last main influence on my outcome was Orson Welles' own artwork from an article he wrote for 'Vogue Paris' in 1982. While obviously not a comic, It was both his and William Golsmith's work which inspired me to use watercolours and ink for the comic. What particularly interested me about Welles' own work was the way he used layers of watercolour, like in the image above, to create a mostly lineless image.
