Italo Calvino's Story Visualization (Comic Book)

Cosmicomix. Die Herkunft der Vögel

The goal of this project was to create a comic book based on a story by Italo Calvino The Origin of the Birds from Cosmicomics. Italo Calvino is a great storyteller, he let the reader use their own imagination in a really unique way. 
and in this project, I use my own imagination and my own way of illustration to express his story.
The process of making the comic book

The process of making this book is consuming a lot of time, from text analysis, creating mood boards, learning the history of comic books, and also learning the skills of how comic books work. From there I proceed to the next step 
by making some sketches of the storyboards and also some illustrations in Adobe illustrator to find the right color 
and mood for the whole comic book.

The Story

The End

Working on something you're not familiar with is challenging, but also fun and refreshing, I'm a more digital person I do everything digitally normally but in this project, I had to use my hand drawing skill and I had to do everything in a more analog way before executing it into digital.

The programs I used in this project are cinema 4D + Octane Render for the modeling and rendering of the book mockup and Adobe Indesign and Adobe Illustrator for the comic book.
