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.

Comic Book Plot

I have gotten all the supplies to start my comic book already. I purchased a pack of different drawing pencils, fancy white paper, 72 different colored pencil and 50 different markers. My comic book will be about a fencer named Gary Gash, who gets captured by an evil villain after winning a world cup. This villain plans to give him super abilities as well controlling his mind because his plan is to take over the world. Gary Gash wakes up while the villain is giving him the abilities and breaks free. He then beats up the villain and then realizes it is his responsibility to protect the city with his new powers.
