CoP 3// Summer Project Part 3 - Script writing and comic thumbnailing

Today I scripted the comic I'm working on as part of my studies into Social Responsibility titled 'Just tell them to fuck off'. This comic is about street harassment, following a young trans woman named Francesca on her journey to meet her girlfriend in town. From morning to meeting, Francesca progressively experiences incidences from strangers ranging from socially appropriate to physical assault.  I'm using Francesca as a representation of events I've heard from the women I've spoken to about their experiences with street harassment. I'm also using this comic to make a comment on what is socially appropriate and what clearly isn't, such as a friendly stranger saying good morning to a stranger commenting on the size of your breasts.

It's rare I write scripts in this way for comics, I normally tend to dive straight into thumb nailing comic strips. Here's a screenshot of some of the script I've been working on...

I also spent the remainder of the day thumb nailing pages for the comic, using a fine liner and copic markers to help identify certain parts of the pages. I'm planning on begining to draw out the comic pages tomorrow...
