Walk to a Waterfall - Dummy Book

I've been in limbo for a little while on how I picture the pages for A Walk to a Waterfall looking, I've experimented with landscapes, adding myself in as a character using collage, and also doing the work digitally and making it more "web-diary-comic" like, eg. a large focus on the character (me) themselves. 

Through this experimentation I always come back to the landscapes, which where particularly important to me on the day this actually happened, so this is the reason I'm bringing it back to focus on nature, the landscape and my surroundings. 

I want to take "me" as a character out of the images themselves, to emphasise the juxtaposition in my internal monologue and my surroundings, as previously mentioned using Matt Maddens 'Vouyer' idea as inspiration.

I still want to ensure there is a lot of emotion in the images, using timed drawings, carefully selected colour palettes, as well as having the text hand written underneath the image to really bring it back to diary type pages I always enjoyed making.

I put together a full dummy book; totalling 16 pages or content (plus covers and inside page)
