Research & Influences
Looking at different comic book styles & Tutorials:
I've been looking at how other comic artist transition between scenes and how they make it flow and less confusing. I have come across some really interesting videos where they explain the importance of angles and when its necessary to add/remove panels.
(This is in no particular order, I compiled this as I went along so its clear what has influenced my final result.)

Designing Dynamic Layouts with text and dialogue in comics:

Some Mangas and comics that I thought of immediately after reading Kaleidoscope. Because there was so much dialogue I knew doing a comic would be the best way to portray the story and the characters. I thought about doing a children's storybook to lessen the workload but the more time I spent on this project the more I wanted to do a comic book.
