16. Inside or outside the box/ panel?

page 36 inked.

In creativity you often talk about to think inside or outside the box. When doing a comic you have to deal with boxes or panel all the time.

Each panel takes the story forward. When working on this graphic novel I try more and more to losen up that panelbox. You need to see it´s a box to understand where the story goes but you can give visual meaning to panel by removing some of the "walls". Somehow it´s can seen that the characters or whatever is inside the box/panel want to get out.
I also sets the mood of the story by removing the "walls".

When adding the second color I can work with this even more.
