Can I create several comics using different media (e.g. Comic Life, paper & pencil, Scratch, etc.)?

2/5/2018

0 Comments

 

​K (what do I already know?)

  • I know about comics and what they are (funny, usually use multiple people, etc.)
  • I know how to use scratch, pencil and paper, and more for my comics
  • I know what an idea for the comics I make could be (a kid who goes to school, with a mum and a dog)

W (what do I want to know?)

  • I want to know how easy/hard it is to come up with comics, and what types of comics are easier and harder to make
  • I want to know how to use different things than what I usually use (Comic life, scratch, google drive for comics, etc.)

H (how will I learn it?)

  • I will  learn it through making mistakes and discovering new things
  • I will learn it through thinking a lot and probably having lots of troubles
  • I will learn it through taking my time, and hoping that I don't do something that will ruin the whole thing.
Picture

L (What I learned)

  • I learned a lot things about scratch, like most of the different blocks and their functions.
  • I learned about computers a little bit when taking a picture of my pencil and paper comic, and when trying to download the offline version of scratch.
  • I learned that the comic that I had in mind was too hard and would take too much

A (Actions I will Take)

  • I have a "all my passion time projects" website at www.mypassiontimeprojectssite.weebly.com, and I added another comic site at www.mycomicsrhere.weebly.com to it.

Q (Questions I still have)

  • I wonder if there was any way to make my comic more life-like without taking ​forever. Like, is there something that would make the movements kind of glide, instead of just teleporting?
  • I wonder that if I had been more focused and only did the one comic, would I have been able to finish it in the 10 periods I had for passion time?

My Reflection

       Questions I will answer: What was the most fun? What was difficult? and What advice can I give others who are doing a project like this?
            The thing that was most fun was watching the comic unfold and work, and see them almost come to life on scratch. It was fun to look at the comics and website I made and go, wow. That was a job well done, although it could use a bit of improvement here and there. The most difficult thing was probably trying to get the comics to work, and if they weren’t working, to try and find the bugs. But even after finding the bugs, I had to fix them. That process of testing, seeing the bug, finding the bug, and finally fixing the bug took up most of my time while making the comics. When doing a comic on Scratch (if you’re doing one on scratch), then start small. Do other things after you’ve made the first small comic, and if you have time after you’ve done all of the other things you need to do, them you can go back and make your original comic bigger, or another one entirely.
