Graphic Novel Panels
The six panels shown here comprise the first half of Dr. Maria Hamilton Abegunde’s poem, Whispering into the Light. This early draft combines real life photos and digital illustrations to visually represent each line. Using this digital medium, with Adobe Illustrator and Procreate, adds another dimension for those interested in Lizzie’s life. The graphic panels invite the reader to engage with the poem and wonder themselves what life could be. Depending on how this project progresses, each individual panel may be expanded to full pages of a children’s book or comic book.
