I grew up enjoying comics of all shape and sizes. My two favorites are Herman and Calvin and Hobbes. The list is to long for comic books or graphic novels. Just understand that I enjoy good dramatic artwork and a really good story line. If a comic book has those two things then I’m hooked. I have recently ask my nephew to draw and write with me. Now please understand, he’s 7 and he lives 4 states away from me. So most of this will be done through email or regular mail.
So here’s the plan; I drew up a blue line sheet that would fit on a 8.5 x 11 standard printer paper. On the bottom of the page is the story written out per panel. I scan the proposal in to my computer and send it to him. With the help of his mother, he draws what he see’s in his imagination. Then they scan what they did and send it back to me.
While he is drawing his sequential art, I am doing the same. I take what I have written and draw it out. Scan the drawing in and send it to his mother and him.
Some of the better ones I plan on posting here.
Maybe the story will keep on going??? My idea is to open this young mans imagination. I don’t expect great artwork or stories. I just want to help him see the way of creating something. Even if it begins with a stick figure.
Let me know what you think.
