I've been going steady though the process of inking up pages of my summer project ' Just tell them to fuck off ', a comic about street harassment. Much like my zine making process I've been using a Lightbox to trace the sketch of the comic page from one piece of cheap paper onto slightly better quality cartridge paper straight with a fine liner.

I also began working on scanning the first few pages in and digitally colouring them, but at the same time I met with my tutor for this year and discussed my idea about my year of study. In this meeting I realised I wanted to focus on LGBT and gender politics, I feel very passionate about these subjects as a story teller because I myself am a queer woman. I've also been made aware just how much I need to research in order to prepare for my dissertation.Also looking back at the script, I feel unhappy with it. It's too much work as far as pages of illustration goes and I feel like for the story it is it's visually too complecated.
Here are the first two pages of the comic project, One finished with colour:
I've began focusing more on transgender representation within LGBT representation and origionally I designed this character to be a trans woman. However I feel like this project doesn't communicate well, as a 'transgender story'. After this project I'm hoping to start developing another project titled 'Drempt awake' which focuses on the anxieties of a trans character.
