Why Ned Dickens stopped disliking blue (colour experimentation)

A comic of Ned moving on from blue to a different colour.

This is the comic I’ve made for the upcoming Sync Shorts expedition, about Ned moving on from blue to a different colour. In this edition, I used acrylic markers on the blue and pink, leaving behind some of the colour penciled art for a shadowy effect. Maybe it will help the colour stand out for the animation’s final result.

Audio description for the “Why Ned Dickens Stopped Disliking Blue” animation. Basically the original voice recording in which the dialogue speaks out what’s happening, except when the can of pink paint hits Ned, for which I added my own part of the description.

My 3 Leadership Styles

Charismatic = a "shining" stick figure on the podium; collaborative = stick figures moving boxes; quiet = the Windows volume icon behind a prohibition symbol

Charismatic – can inspire devotion in others

Collaborative – can work with others

Quiet – not highly talkative
