Presentation

My last step now is the presentation and I am almost done with that! This is very exciting for me because the comic took a lot of hard work. The last thing I need to do is scan my comic onto the computer so it is easy to see during my presentation.

Bringing it Back to JCHS

Today I brought my Keystone product back to JCHS. I had a comic book reading during club block in room 205. I was very happy with the experience and the peoples reaction to my comic. A lot of people showed up to see my comic book and all of them seemed to like it, which makes me feel like my attempt to create a comic book was successful. My last and final step is to make a presentation and slide show. In my presentation, I am planning to talk about Marvel Comics, the processes of making a comic book and maybe give a demonstration of how I drew my main character, Gary Gash. My presentation is on June 5 during C block and is a 40 minute presentation. I look forward to completing this year-long process.

Finishing my Essay

Yesterday I finally completed my essay for keystone. I wrote a research paper on marvel comics. I am pretty happy about how it turned out. It is around 5 pages long and shares some interesting details about the history of Marvel Comics. My next step is bringing it back to JCHS. I am planning to have a comic reading of my comic in an upcoming club block. My keystone is scheduled for June 3rd.

Comic Book Copies

Yesterday I picked up the copies I made of my comic book. They are binded together and are now in book form. Im disappointed in how they turned out because a lot of the original color was lost. I either have to re-color them or go to a different printing place and see if they can do a better job. Although I am happy of how my original copy of the comic turn out in book form. I am hoping my copies turn out well because I plan to donate some copies to the library, so everyone can enjoy my work.

final product completed

I have  completed my final product of my comic book. It was a lot of hard work! The comic is 14 pages long and has been completely drawn and colored. I have to say, this process took me a lot longer then I had expected. I took almost 2 month of me working on it every day. Today I went to a print shop and I have made 5 copies of my comic, which I will pick up tomorrow. I am planning to donate a few copies of the comic to the school library, so everyone can enjoy. My next step is to write a 5 page paper about comic books and their history. I think this should take me around a week.

Thinking about the Comic

Although I have thought of what the comic was going to be about in advanced, I think of a lot of details as a go along. For example, I have to think of the text on the spot and how the characters will look like and what they will be doing in the scene. This is a very time consuming process, but I have had a lot of fun with it so far. It is frightening to me that I do not know how the final product will end up looking.

Working on the Comic

My comic book is going well so far. Im 6 pages in and so far Gary Gash has escaped from the villain. This process of drawing the comic book is a lot more time consuming then I originally thought. I am first drawing everything in pencil and when I am done with the comic in pencil, I will go back over it and add color and more detail. It is very rewarding to see my finished pages and I can not wait to see the completed product. I am still trying to figure out how to bind all the pages together to make it a book.
