Cartoon Comic

I decided that for my comic I wanted to involve cows in some way, shape or form. Don't ask me why because I don't know. I just like cows. Anyway I wanted them to do something cows don't normally do. I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do and while I was texting one of my friends she said that she wished she had a cow who could give her peanut butter instead of milk. Then I said I wished for a cow that could give chocolate instead of milk. Then it hit me. I could have two cows, one that made chocolate and one that made peanut butter, and use that as my comic! That is the motivation for the lovely comic that can be seen below. All I have to do now is color it and then I will be done.

Questions About Cartoons

What's the difference between anime and manga?
Anime is animation of a cartoonish show and manga is a book of pictures or comics (ex. graphic novel).

What is the difference between a graphic novel and a comic book?
Graphic novels are much longer and tend to be more complex. Comic books tell stories over many issues. Graphic novels typically complete their storyline in one or two books.

How are panels designed and layed out in comic books, newspapers, and graphic novels?
They can be designed in single frame or multi-panel, and they tell stories through the panels.

Pinterest Link- Comics

I created a comic board on Pinterest that you can access by clicking this link: Comic Board On this board I have put any type of comic that interests me. This seems to be mainly Disney stuff along with a little bit of Marvel and a couple of things from books that I like. Enjoy!

Cartoon Bones

For my cartoon bones assignment I decided to use the character Mabel Pines from Gravity Falls. She originally looks like this:

Then I traced a photo of her onto the transparent paper and then colored it. Here is what that looked like:

After that step I created what I think that Mabel's skeleton would look like if you were to take an x-ray of her. Here is the final product:

I am proud of myself because before this class I could barely draw one bone and now I was able to draw an entire human skeleton.
