Carol
also uses colour to her advantage. Colour can be one of the most important
tools for any kind of illustrator or cartoonist. A dull, flat frame can
completely change tone, feel, and energy of piece which can be exactly what the
writer wants. However, I found that Carol used colour to work with the focus of
the shot. By this, I mean that she draws the attention of the viewer to a pat o
the frame that she wants to put emphasis on. For example, in this comic strip
you can see how the doll she's holding in each frame is wearing a bright red
bathing suit/shirt. She also makes the filling of the pie bright red which
helps draw attention of the reader.
All artists use colour to their advantage, do you think Carol used red to signify her anger or emotions towards her negative feelings about her weight?

her use of color is as expected from a comic. I do enjoy how some scenes are non existent, for instance the linked image with the numbers and symbols drowning her. Even though it is not an actual scene, its a great visual depiction of her feelings.
ReplyDeleteI also like how her use of colour is not overwhelming. She has a great eye for what is pleasing to the eye but not too over powering. Below is an example of something I find too much (in contrast). There are so many things going on and too much to look at.
