Pre Draft for assignment #3

On Monday (Today) I learned that writing and drawing comics are not that easy. I never realized that an artist can change the point of view of the writer. For example when we did the activity in class, my partner gave me her writing and I had to draw it and make it into a comic. When I showed her my comic, she laughed because what I did was nothing that she had in mind while writing. It’s crazy to know that the artist can change the whole story/idea that the writer had. It makes you wonder how much the writer and artist have to consult to get the ideas to connect. This made me want to actually make a comic, which is why I’ll try to do Ms.Marvel volume 2. I personally think that everyone can draw, they just have to put in effort and take their time. I was not planning to draw, I write, I love to write. I think I’ll give drawing a chance though, so I’m very excited to begin! This format will help me understand fully the process of writing comics. I have read comics before in middle school, like Zits, Bones, Calvin and Hobbes but I never really became a HUGE fan. I feel like I will after this class though, so that’s exciting. Ms. Marvel is teaching me that comics can also have serious topics and touch on real problems,

  1. Karen,

    Watching you two crack up during class was golden, and I am so glad you had a lot of fun but also got some insight into collaborative creation processes 🙂 I’m also stoked to hear that you’re going to embark on your own version of Volume 2 — it’s going to be incredible, I can tell already. Feel free to supplement your drawings with writing, by the way, since you love it and I want you to be able to both try new things and do what you already know you love! This is gonna be great: rock on!
