9 Panel narrative

9 Panel Narrative

During the "Narrative and Storytelling" module of my MA in illustration at Falmouth, we were tasked with creating a 9-Panel narrative on the subject of "Change",

using only one colour.

I chose to illustrate a narrative about breaking bad or unhealthy habits. It's somewhat a linear narrative, except that panels 3,4 and 5 are possible outcomes that don’t necessarily happen. Perhaps they do. Perhaps they don’t. Perhaps they are in the mind of the protagonist. ​In the 8th panel, the character steps out of the panel completely, thereby stepping out of her own narrative, breaking out of the story and situation she finds herself in.​
