1. Introduction: Hi, and welcome to my class. This is a class about
storytelling and we will do exercises with
the comic strip medium. This is one of my favorite topic by using the
association text image and the notion of time, you can break down
your ideas and shape them into sequences
to create a story. This is very interesting. Stories in our society
pickup a lot of space, whether it is on
Instagram or on TV, story that everywhere it can
be a story about somebody, something that is happening or events that have
happened in the past. The history of the world
is a very long story. Stories are also
fictionalized, for example, into your dreams or into the mythological stories
that are a little bit crazy. I'll surrealist. I appreciate poems and also stories that
incorporate humor, discuss about everyday life. And I'd also like stories
that teach us real message, for example, that tell us
something about wisdom. So stories are created
through events, what we read, hear, or see. And you can use any
content you want. For example, you can be
inspired by your reality and draw something about a
particular day of your life. For example, I usually
draw a comic to be more aware about what
is happening in my life. It helps me to understand, realize how I behave and
how I perceive things. You can also use other contents like images from a
magazine or newspaper. You don't need to
be an expert at drawing characters to
create a comic strip. You can also draw a character
from your imagination. And I think it's fine
to intuitively draw the human body without knowing all the academic
rules around it. I find also it's better
if a drawing comes from yourself and it's
not a simple copy. In this class, we won't
talk about how to draw the face with
the right proportion, but we will see general notions. For example, the
mechanism of storytelling and how to tell your
message with humor. Or how to add text and images are colors
inside your panels. And at the end, I want you to be able
to express yourself off on one or two pages with
the comic strip medium. And I hope at the
end you can find your own style and tell
your ideas creatively
2. The Class Project: So now let's see with
a more in-depth look, what we will do in this class. And my goal at the end is that you can draw a comic strip. So firstly, we will see
with experiences in our daily life how you can
express them through a story. I will give you ideas about
how to start a story also, by taking my own
experiences of life. We'd see that Drawing
your experiences can be a very good tool
for self improvement. Secondly, we will see a simple notions
about storytelling. For example, the
vocabulary, the relation, text, images, and type of shots. I will also show you how to tell your message and how to invoke an emotion
into the reader, will see how to create a plot or how you can
present your work. Throughout the end, we will
see how to add the text into your comic strip and how to Add colors with
the graphic tablet. We will do also to exercises, one with images of
a newspaper and another one with
paragraph of a book. And those exercises
are the class project. So you can share one
of your comic strip on the Skillshare's website in the Project and
Resources section. And also there you can
ask me any questions you want and I will be
happy to answer them.
3. Material: Before we dive into the class, Let's see what you will need and please make sure
to have the following. You will need a bunch of
watercolor pencils is a router. Ink pen. A thin brush, nib, a pencil with an eraser, a bottle of black ink. Here I use Chinese stone, water, your notebook or
a pile of blank paper. Then your graphic tablet or a computer with software
where you can draw. I use the software
Affinity Designer. And especially for
the class project, you will need ten images from a newspaper and a
paragraph from a book. It's better if you
choose a paragraph that will evoke images
into your mind. So you can transform
it into a comic strip
4. Change the way you perceive: Class by sharing how a
comic strip helped me to talk about a
situation I experienced. By drawing, it is
possible to reflect on your situation you
were an during the day, analyze it, and maybe change your behaviors
in the future. So imagine you were outside in your city and you
had an experience, may be a good one with
different kinds of events. Now you are at home. You can take a step back and simply take a moment to try
to tell a story about it. What I usually do
when I want to draw a story about my day is
that I Write about it. I write what I thought, what I did, what I felt, and everything I noticed. The first step is to
understand what happened. Then you can look at it
with an external eye and maybe change the way you
perceive the things. For example, maybe there were people talking about
you and judging you, but you can't verify it. Maybe there were maybe not. And now you just think, I don't care about that. We sometimes have
the wrong outlook. And by putting the
situation on the paper, we can be more aware
about what is happening. And we can have new
reactions and behaviors. So, for example, changing your behavior and the
way you interact your, in your environment, you
can have new thoughts. For example, you
can start thinking that it is okay to
laugh about yourself, or it is okay to not take
everything too seriously. Here I'm explaining a
situation in a coffee and I can see myself
in my environment. So in this way I can
observe how I feel, how I react to the
events and how I behave. During the creative process. I mean, by reshaping
an experience, you can have a new feelings
that you couldn't have. In the reality you knew. You can explore your areas
of comfort, discomfort, and also overcome your
fears and live closer to the way you
really want to live. So it's a very powerful tool. The thing on step is to
change your reality. And steroids can be a space
where you can imagine values, possibilities about
the situation. From your own story, you will create a new one, new source and your behavior. If you are able to
change the way you perceive yourself and the world, you are able to reshape an experience and give
a new tonality to it. During the creative
process, I mean, by reshaping an event, you can experience
new feelings that you couldn't fill in the
reality you knew. A comic strip allows
you to explore your areas of comfort
and discomfort. You can overcome your fear and live closer to the
reality you want to live. With a Comic Strip, it is possible to
create the character of your dreams with more
confidence, more sociable. It's like you create the hero, you would like to be. Every artist needs to express themselves
for certain reason. For example, they
are looking for a population extensity of feelings that can be expressed into daily life with the
practice of a naught, you can really
transform yourself. But only if you dare
5. How to start: So now let's see how we
can start comic strip. Firstly, you need a content
or a source of inspiration. And as we saw previously, you can use events that
happened in your life. So let's continue with this
idea. At the beginning. Start to write something, your feelings, perceptions,
and observation. Of course at the beginning, you don't have the complete
story in your mind, but you might have experience of feeling that you want to
use as a starting point. Or you can also use what you have heard in a
bus or in a shop. For example. Usually I
come up with many ideas. I have many impressions that I have to pull out of my head. And then after this
kind of brainstorming, I feel lighter and clearer. So here, for example, is what I wrote about
an event experienced. And it wasn't the train station. And I saw a group of people
and I want to talk to them. So here's what I wrote. So for example, I want
to talk to those girls. We are not friends, but we can pick, come, reach out or
courage, being friendly. And then I had maybe some fear. So I can explore like the fear of not being able to escape. I can leave after. I can do mistakes. And the mood is very important. The second step is to choose among the sentences you wrote, the ones you want to develop. You count, express
in one comic strip. Every aspect of your experience. You have to select one of them. For example, you choose a joke, a conversation on just
something you want to clarify. Then I suggest you stand by Drawing series of
sketches about your idea. So here I drew two drawings
with watercolor pencils. And the first one
is the situation. So I draw the young man and a group of ladies
with one picture. We can easily describe
a situation here. People at the train station. Then I will create an action. So the man, look at the ladies. Actually it's more
like a raising action. And we will talk more about the mechanics of
the story later. The third step, when you
have something to play with, and it can be a few sketches or the beginning of
a story like here. You should find a way to develop the ID and find an
end to the story. If you want to create
an interaction, it's interesting to think about what people want and need. For example, the guy wants
to speak to the girl. The girl just want to have FUN. The guy first need
to make their mouth. And he just has to
say something silly. Example, hey, that's amazing. We take the same train. I'm a little bit like you
and the girls start to love. So think about how
panels are like sequences in that they
interact with each other. A little bit like a movie. So the reader should understand
what you are obtaining. And at the end you can refine your sketches and
add some black ink. I usually add digital colors
with the graphic tablet, and I will come
back to it later in the class during the exercises. Now, I'm adding
the text manually, but you can also add
it with a software. That's what we will see now. Now let's see how to add the word balloons with
the software pages. So firstly, you will have to put the comic strip in the
middle of your page. And we've pages, you can select ready-made
shapes of road balloon, the round one, or
the square root one. So let's take the query
one for the first example. Firstly, I put the arrow
at the right place. Then I change the color
of the background. I select border of two points, and then I will write with
a text, 23 points inside. The guy will say,
hey, that's amazing. We take the same train. And then he said, I am a little bit like you. Then I will create another word balloon for
the girls, around one. And you can change the
angles, the corners. I write 23 points. Here we have to world balloons, father, girls, and the guy. And then you can
order your panels to create the page of
your comic strip. I also add an image behind the last picture so I can draw
a train in the background. I select the multiply
option on the layer of my drawing so the image
of the train will appear in transparency
behind the image. And then I can draw on
that image and also complete the lines on my drawing
with the graphic tablet. And then you will also be able to add a frame
around that picture. In the next video, we
talk about the vocabulary
6. Vocabulary of a comic strip: And now let's have a look at the vocabulary of
the comic strip. And I will show you
also other examples. So let's begin with the panels. These are the rectangles on which you will draw your images. You should then decide on
the size of your panels. As you can see on that example of the
Illustrator or toddy, you can extend them
in all directions. Then you have the getters, which is the space in
between the panels. And the tears, are the spaces that form the
margin around the page. Find an aesthetic way
to represent them. Thirdly, you have the text
and for that you can use the word balloons
and the captions are more like a voice-over
next to the dialogue. I remember illustrating
a novella at school, which is called the
Year of the spaghetti. And notice on this work, I have created the
world balloons by hand. Another example, when I include paragraphs of the texts
and panels together, you can be creative and imagine
new ways to tell a story. Have you heard about the
father of the comic strip? And he's called rather daughter, was born in Geneva,
in Switzerland. And that is to say
he the first to tell a story with VNet.
In his stories. He just add the text
under the images. This is a very simple way to tell story, but very efficient. You can also simply draw a
comic strip without text. And it's more like the
atmosphere of somewhere. In the next video, we'll
talk about the type of Shots
7. The Types of Shots: When you have a few
sketches and an idea, you can use the Types
of Shots to improve the tensions and the
reading of your story. For example, if an image
it looks to borrowing, you can make it more attractive
with the type of shots. So let's have a look at
different types of shots. Firstly, you have the long shot when you see a
person from a file. Then you have the full shot. When you see a person
in their entirety. Then you have the medium shot to represent a small
group of people. And a close-up is when you see only the faith of
your character, for example, in a conversation
or in a dialogue. And then you can use a big close-up when you
want to tighten the frame on the detail of
a character or something, it makes sense to begin
with a wide shot when you want to represent the
context of your story. And then you bring
the attention on the character with medium
close-up, for instance. As well as this, remember the bird's-eye view
and the worldview. The birthday, if
you is when you see your character from above. And in that case, it doesn't
look really highlighted. On the other hand, you
have the worldview when you see your
character from below. And in that case,
he looks mighty. In the next video, we will talk about how
to tell your message
8. How to tell your message: Now let's talk about
how you can tell your message and which parts are really
important to express. Sometimes you might
feel discouraged because you want to
express an idea, but you think it's too
complicated to draw it. So what do you think can help? For example, this
is my drawings. And as you can see, the figures are not
completely correct, but this is okay
because it's my style and I'm not trying to
draw like anybody else. One do you think and help if you don't know how to
draw something? For example, I often
struggle when to draw. A character is holding
something in his hand. For example, I have to figure out where is the
thumb and fingers. What I do is that
I look at my hand and then I include what
I see into my drawing. Maybe you have a
wooden figure that you can use to model postures. And as soon as you know
what you want to draw, you can look at your
environment and look for images that can help you. For example, you can
also look at newspaper, magazines and find
images you need. Even if they're not
exactly like you want, you can use them
and feel free to modify them according
to your needs. Then you can also make
use of the Internet. Your imagination, books, annual environment.
Now clean up. The aesthetic is one thing, but you can have really
realistic drawings, but your concept is very poor. How can you tell a story
in an interesting way? How can you improve
your storytelling? Firstly, you can
play with contrast. Contrast, for example,
in time, sizes. Mood, colours. For example, old, young, late, early. Here, not here. Angry and happy. For example, in that image, you can see that there
is a contrast with the size and the idea
is quite unusual. Thickening
recommendation Japan and humor into your drawing
into your storage. So for example, if you
tell something about, you go into a shop
and buy a laptop, then go back home. That's not very interesting. And if you tell something about an angel doing
something good, it's not so fine too. But if you think about the devil trying to
do something good, it can be interesting
because the ID is original. Thirdly, try to evoke an
emotion from the reader. So price, and try to make
your story attracted. Try to draw your stories so
we want to know what is next. We want to read more
9. How to create a plot: And now let's talk a little
bit more about a plot. In every story you
have a beginning, a middle, and an end. It includes a character who will perform in
his environment, express himself,
and talk to people. A plot includes next position, raising actions, the climax, falling action, and
the resolution. In the exposition,
the situation is introduced and also
the characters. It prepares the audience for the events that are
going to unfold. The rising action is when the main problem is
revealed and the climax incorporates when there
is the most suspense and the problematic is solved, then you'll have falling actions when the tension decreases. And in the resolution, there is no more conflict and the problems solved and
questions answered. Then you can add
other chapters with new characters and
other problematic. It's even possible to tell
a story in four panels. In this example, you have
a very clear situation. Explain the first square, friends or cooking, but
then somebody complains. So there is a problem, but the friends will help. The problem is solved. One advantage of
the comic strip is that you can create ellipsis. It's when you leave
out something super cruise and make
your story shorter, create a gap between sequences. But we still can understand
the story perfectly. Consider that some ideas
are easier to express with images and other are
easier to express with a text. So, for example, you
can use a caption to describe very
quickly a situation. For example, sunny afternoon
of the National Day. So we understand to contact. Let's see another example. Do you remember the famous scientist
is actually new tell. He was close to a tree and
when a food fall down, he became mindful about
the gravity load. To illustrate this story, we can do that in three panels. You don't need to represents
every stages of default. You can simply draw
when it's falling. And we understand
the story perfectly. Depends how you want to tell. See, if you draw all
the stages of the fall. It will probably add
tension and suspense. As we saw previously, we can do a big
close-up on the fruit and it will add
even more tension. It depends how you want
to express an idea. I think to visualize your
story in your head can happen because you can imagine where you want to
bring the focus. You can picture your
subject into your mind and imagine how you want
to express your idea. In the next video, we will talk about how you can
present your work
10. How your work is shown: Now let's see on which support you can
create your story on. It's not the same if you publish on Instagram
or in a book. So for example, I enjoy using one or two pages of my
notebook to create a story. It allows me to create at least one action or a short interaction
between people. If you are very inspired, you can create a story
of several pages. But if you are
just starting out, I recommend to use only
one or two pages first. And then if you want, you can gather your
Stories inside a book. As you can sometimes
see in the newspaper, you can tell a story
on only four panels. Here. For example,
it's an interaction. It's a particular moments
about a situation. I added captions
under the images. It's like a second layer and it gives access to the
ecology of the character. If you show your story on
social media like Instagram, you can post a story by using
up to ten square images. By posting on digital
support on iPad or iPhone, you need first to
digitalize your work. It means clean it, Add colors with a software and change the
luminosity, for instance. When talk about that later
during the exercises. If you are looking
for an exhibition, is better to have the origin of your images and they have
to look presentable. It's better to look
for a nice paper. And you will see that in a way it encourage
you to draw well, it influences a little
bit the way you draw. Now, imagine your work
is publicized and it will appear in a
newspaper or magazine. Sometimes it is
how to open up to others about what you produce, how you feel by
showing your work. And consider what
would you like to share to the community
and the readers? And think about the readers. Are they are teenagers or adults in which emotions would you
like to invoke from them? Would you like to
make them laugh? Would you like to make
them feel happy, joyful? Or maybe you want to make
them feel uncomfortable. Do you want to
trigger their anger? Or maybe you want to
make them feel released. Usually, you want to create a story with a topic
you care about. The subject will trigger or invoke strong
feeling inside you. You will see that
the work you produce will resonate with
certain people. We'd also find the material you are comfortable
to work with. In the next video, we
will do first exercise
11. Exercise 1: Now let's do a first exercise with the images
of the newspaper. And for this exercise
you will need some watercolor pencil,
an eraser pencil, and to free pages
of your notebook, and furthermore, the ten
images of your newspaper. So let's start this
exercise and it's time to be creative. You, we will do a
story on 12 pages in length with six to
eight on each page. You don't have to use all the images of the
newspaper or they're just here to help you find
ideas and inspiration. First step is to look
at the images of the newspaper and to
connect with them. You can try to understand
them even more by drawing the outline of the
shapes of those pictures. And as a warm-up exercise, you can draw ten
figures on a sheet of paper and try to spend
less than 2 min each. For example, I have created
man chased by shadows. And I didn't you, he is happy because he
could fight all of them. The idea was born
from a feeling, but I could also use the images of the newspaper to
find inspiration. For example, I have
depiction of a man running. So I will use it in
one of my panels. But sometimes you
create a story simply because you need to
express something. And it can start from a feeling, but also what you saw outside. Another thing is that you can write about what
you are thinking, what you see on the images, what you feel it can really help to clarify what you want to say. The second step is
to find narration. And Firstly, focus more on the sketches instead of
complicated drawings. Tried to find some sequences and small parts of your story
that you want to illustrate. Avoid doing complicated
drawing until you decided on the complete story because the composition and the orders
of your panels, we change. Also the types of shots and
wet you can do is also write. One sentence is about each
panels of your story. So here is policed about
every sentences I wrote. And as you can see, I
divided them in four pounds. Remember the Theory
about the plot? First, there is the exposition, then the raising actions, then the climax, and at
the end, the resolution. Now, I will show you a few examples about how
you can draw your story. First, I draw my character. Shadows are following him. There are buildings
in the background. It's a long shot and because we described the situation first, in the second picture, we see the shadows from a
closer proximity. It's a medium shot, so we see more
details about them. Then actions are
arising. In the picture. Number six, the guy
can reach a girl, they talk a bit and
it's an original view. We see the shadows in
the background from afar and Wyandot
couple is speaking. They are devising a plan. In the picture number nine, they are running very fast and
will soon hit the shadows. As we saw in the theory, this is the climax. Until they run through the shadows and break
them into pieces. It can be challenging
to express your ideas. If it's unclear, be
patient with yourself. You will find a
way to share them. Even if we don't see what
you want to express, you can use words like that, but now they are running
and we'll hit the shadows. Next when you draw
your character can help use Jeremy trigger shapes. Then you can add details. Don't forget to
use the images of the newspaper has
images of reference. Here is how I Add the
ink on the first panels. I feel more at ease adding my ink since the third drawing, then I can reach a state flow. Even if my sketch is WO, it gives me a base
that I can work from. As they Add the ink, I
Improve the Sketch by drawing the shapes more
clearly and with more details. I can change the
posterior a bit too. Feel free to add as much
details as you want with a steady and add the outline
everywhere on your sketches. Spend time on the hair. I could add the word
balloon here also. For example, are you ready? And when I'm done
with the drawing, I add also a frame with my black pen and the
water around it. And now they are fighting. It's a close-up of the faith of the girl and the man
while they are running. In this panel, the
drawing can be a bit blurred because there
is a lot of movement. I also add a short lines to give the impression of rapidity. Then hit the shadows and all
of them burst into pieces. Tried to feel what
you are drawing. So the readers will understand the emotion
you want to communicate. They are very happy and
the shadows are killed. You can put your
initials in the corner. Don't forget to erase the pencil on every
panel. At the end. A few hours later, I look at my story and it is not exactly the
way I imagined it. Beginning. I want to create more the panic and worry
from the character. In the first image. I drew my character
more expressive. On another sheet of paper. I will remove the
first panel and replace it with the
new one instead. Here is how I do with the computer and the
software Affinity Designer. Firstly, create a workspace
on Affinity designer, impulse your image, crop it and duplicate
it just in case. Clean the guitar and the tears and the level
adjustments, right? The black level to ten per cent. Hello World, the
white to 90 per cent. Convert your image
into black and white. Two, the new image, create another
artboard and import the new image for the
panel number one on it. At first I felt like
the panels number one is a rectangle selection. And then I duplicate it and
I put it on my new image. The sedation gave me an indication of
where I need to crop. I leave some blank space above my drawing so I can
create the title. Then I crop my new image
and put it on pen. And number one, I change
the order of the layer by putting the new one under
the level adjustment. In the end, I think the
eraser to remove the area that overlaps the frame
of by them. Number one, here is how it looks
like we use colours. But when we talk
more about that in the next exercise.
So see you there.
12. Exercise 2: The second exercise,
we will do it less formal and a little
bit more poetic. In this exercise, we will
illustrate a paragraph of a book which can give you
plenty of images to draw. In this exercise, it's
more like an atmosphere, glimpse and details
about a moment showing an atmosphere
or ritual or habits about the culture
can authenticate a particular situation very well with text
inside the captions. And according your
own perception, we will start now the exercise, and here are the main steps. So firstly, choose a paragraph that evoke something you like. Choose the same as me. My paragraph is from the
book of Nikola Bouvier, the way of the world. And the paragraph
is at the page 174. The second step is to choose the sentences that
you want to illustrate. So underline, the sentences in the text being
potentially an image. And I suggest you draw in
your notebook on double-page. The third step is to add the outline with the black
ink on your sketch and then scan your image and add the colours with
your graphic tablet. Think about the text. If you want to leave it out
or include the paragraph, you illustrate it,
or if you want to imagine another text
from your imagination. So let's start to draw, and now I will show you some examples about
how I proceed. You might feel inspired. And even if you don't
know how to draw a shape, try to trust in yourself and
your hand will do the rest. Also, if you are not
satisfied about your drawing, you can make a little
break and come back later when you are able
to draw with less stress. I tried to choose a paragraph that will stimulate
images in your mind. When I read the texts, I can feel an atmosphere
of travel, dust, and life. That's why I chose a row technique like
black ink with textures. Here I prepared my panels
for my illustrations, and I leave a free-space under them to add the text afterward. Draw all the panels
one-by-one according the sentences intuitively
from your imagination. If you would like, you
can add onomatopoeia for the sound of the
crowds, like our co-op. Some draw rings look
better than others, even if my sketch is messy, I can improve it
with ink afterward. If the head of your horse
looks like nothing, have a look at a photo of your horse to see
what it looks like. I always refer to what is written in the paragraph
to get all the details. Feel free to switch
the medium and use a black watercolor pencil
for the background. Or you can use a bolt benzyl
for the line of a hill. And now I'm adding the
outline with the black ink. You can also add patterns
if you would like to. And don't forget to erase
the pencil strokes at the end with the
character's faces. I really take my time because
each stroke of the face is important when you want to show a particular expression
after a while. It is also possible to improve them with
the graphic tablet. Maybe you want to make
a boulder stroke with your brush to suggest the
shadow on the code of the man. You make a regular
outline with the pen for the hand of the
bugs of the instrument. Here I just represent the
musician among people and want to express something
warm and kind, simply human. In the text descriptions
can help you to choose the color
and add detail. After awhile, you can
really dive deeper into your drawings and
feel more relaxed. I will then add a
little bit more texture with the black
watercolor pencil. I also like to add details to the images that looks
virtually poor. And during this process, you may reach a flow state where you don't have to
actively think anymore I outline my Sketch everywhere
with the black ink. I suggest a few people
and the stance of the market in the background
with a few strokes. Elements far of the
viewer are blurred. Elements in the
foreground are precise. Use colors with a
lower opacity for the background so the
elements appear further. So for the colours, what I usually do is that I add them with watercolor
pencils first, but sometimes the colors
look a bit messy or pale. So I brighten them with
the graphic tablet. Take a photo of your drawing, send it to the computer and
included your artboard. Then create another pixel
layer for the colours, put it underneath the
layer of your outline. And after, while, we
change the option of the layer from the normal mode
to the military play mode. When you add the colours
on the computer, you outline will
overlap your colors. Then we will change the levels
to improve the contrast. And now we can start
to add the colours. Feel free to overlap
the textures you made with the pencil or not. And the details and the frame
with the Rope Stabilizer. You can also darken elements
you drew with the black ink. As you can see, I made a little sketch before
for the tablecloths. Mix several articles
for the faces. So it looks more real. For the peer wood case, I tried to think about the material when
I choose my color. And that way it
looks more accurate. If there is a big area, quite geometrical, like
the road or a wall, Take the free-hand
selection tool, select the space, then Take a big brush and add the colours. By doing a gradient. You can also use
this technique and select an area in the
background you've collaborated before and use one color that is
lighter than the other. End, create clearer arias. Add colors as you like
everywhere in your drawings. There's the other
brushes and as well, for example, the round chalk, as we saw previously, select an area and then draw
with the charge inside. The round chunk
will give textures. So this time we'd be more row. You can also add details
using brighter colors. If you want to let your
fantasy express itself, you design what you want
on the door of the flag, on the code of the driver. Here I drew yellow styles on the dark blue fabric.
For the background. You don't need to
be very precise. I will look at several
possibilities for the sky. The lower part clearer, I think with the cobalt
blue, it will be fine. Towards the end, I add little spot of white
to create the clouds. For the mountains. I select the area and then
add the colours. If you forget a small space and leave it white,
it's even better. Mountains that are
further appear clearer. It's also possible to add
another warmer color, like red or orange. Even if it looks
a bit surrealist. The red and pink dots in the
mountains could be flowers. Sometimes what you did in
the beginning look better. Just delete our come
back into the historic. Usually when you draw something spontaneously, it looks great. And that's it.
We've just created a Short Story from
this paragraph. And here is how it looks
like with the text. I simply wrote the text
inside the whitespaces
13. Conclusion: Well done. You've
completed the class we did to exercises about the
comic strip medium. And we learned about a
lot of key concepts. We talked about the
different medias on which you can show your work. In this class, my aim was to express my experience about the comic strip medium with you. And it, how it helps me
to express a situation from my life and maybe change
the way I perceive it. You should now be able to express a story
using these medium. And either it's a
feeling or an event. You can now create
Story with panels. Imagine a situation,
recognize the climax, and also solve the problematic through the
adventure of a character. Allow yourself to express what
you want with originality and poetry and fantasy. On the paper, you can
create whatever you want. So I'm very proud of you and I'm looking
for a while seeing your work on the website of Skillshare in the Project
and Resources section. So see you in another
class. Bye bye.
