I used pen tool and cropped out the characters, and arranged them neatly on the watercolour circles:

2D Project #3: Process
Initially I planned to draw and colour using comic markers. And I did halfway, only to realise how tiring and time consuming it was.
So I did the sleeping beauty and Snow White in copic, and the rest are digitally coloured:
Snow White:
“I have quite a potential, but if I find an easier alternative, I’d rather do it that way.”
I completed the rest of the panels.
Sleeping beauty:
“I am hardworking, but if given the opportunity, I’d rather not be.”
Cinderella:
“I complain a lot, but at family gatherings, I shut up.”
Cinderella was the most morbid strip cause the mouse was forcefully stuffed into her mouth to ‘shut herself up’. Initially I just wanted cinderella to bow her head down and mop the floor quietly— but that was too normal.
3 Little Pigs:
“I always give my best, but if I face hardship, I crumble.”
Background:
From the start, I knew I wanted to have soft, pastel watercolour backgrounds. So I collected these from google.
At first I tried square backgrounds.
But I felt like they were too plain. So I tried circles, which were more messier and playful. Also, the squares looked too constricted and ordered. Didn’t like that.
Thus, circles it is:
2D Project #3: Fairytales
I love love love childhood stories and Disney princess movies so I decided to work on them in this third project. Of course, to make it less boring, my story plots will come end with a twist.
I worked backwards: I listed down my personalities/reactions and situations first and then thought about the suitable characters. So I came up with these characters:
-Cinderella
-Sleeping beauty (cause I like to sleep)
-3 little pigs
-Snow White
Situations I came up with:
-Easier opportunities/short cuts
-under pressure
-family gatherings
-facing hardship/difficulty
