Pirates!

Okay so I've chosen to pick the How to be a pirate as my Zine. I've found a couple of images and have done some sketches.  There were a couple of background images that I thought were interesting and some inspiration for the ship & the look of the pirate. I was thinking about a grisly old pirate captain explaining how to be a pirate, and having someone that he can change throughout the zine to make into a pirate.

"How to..." Zine

So this final project of the semester is about making a "How to..." Zine. Basically a short magazine. I am currently go back & forth over a couple of subjects to choose from. I had originally wanted to do How to crochet a granny square, but I had seen that somebody else had wanted to do that idea as well...great minds think alike I guess. So then I am mulling over How to be a Pirate or How to bottle-feed a calf. The Pirate idea would have the illustrations being mostly hand drawn and then scanned into the computer. Ideas for the pirates would have several examples on how to be a pirate. But the Calf idea would be mostly made up of pictures, showing the process of making a bottle and then properly feeding it. So those are the two I am trying to choose from.
