An 'intuitive' set of panels... read below.

  Reality Bites No.1

Look this background over, 'read' the story,  I did this to put into pictures a number of ideas about our conceptions vs. other's conceptions and as well some techical points of layout.  It is a rough draft of a panel, this scan is from the original done on 11x17 20lb. bond printer paper... you don't have to work on bristol board all the time!!! (Or at all, really)

As we see in this set of panels I present a simple strip concerning a man who envisions himself a working manga artist. He appears about college age and about to put the finishing touches on a panel he has just created... when reality bites! His teacher calls upon him.

She appears sarcastic in appearance, asking him what great creation he has produced?
We see him still pictured older as his teacher presses upon him.

But in the end we see him to be an elementary level student beginning art class... and his great picture is a stick-piggy!... I romanji'd the exclamation, the sounds made to bring an audience to attention in the Kabuki Theater - Ieeeyoooo!. (which could be taken as a play on 'eee iii eee iii yooo!'... old macdonalds farm...)

My purpose was to explain that our own concept of ourselves is not always or at any time , what others see of us. We have to be able to look at our work other than 'subjectively'.., we have to see what others see as well. This can take time or it can come quickly to an artist. Be patient with yourself!
