Final Project: Children's storybook

POP CULTURE! to debunk the stereotype of fat people, that's our team's aim. "WHY ARE THERE NO FAT PRINCESS STORIES" was the main inspiration for our story. WE WILL GIVE THEM ONE FAT PRINCESS STORY- never to judge people by their appearance! (It does sound like some rallying calls I admit. lol.)


Storyline (the gist of it) : Mabel was fat but kind, soon had low self esteem due to constant criticisms from her stepmother and stepsister. She was sabotaged by her sister during one journey, where she rendered help to an ugly man who is actually a fine looking prince in disguise. The couple eventually married and they lived happily ever after.
We have some charater development:
Ugly man vs. Prince Tyler

Stepsister Tricia and Stepmother

Mabel!

Sketches
and these are some of the final storybook excerpts:

We use rule of thirds for some of our compositions, and use mainly block colours with minimal gradients to attract the attention of 7-9years old readers. =))) Fat Mabel FTW!
