[Digital Art] Draw Something 13: Comic Strip

Background Info.

Comic strips and comic books are a popular aspect of many cultures. They could be political cartoons, stories about mutants and superheroes, or just a story about a boy and his tiger. Regardless of the topic, comics use graphics and text to relay their message. For this Draw Something, you will create a short comic strip.

Below is a list of free online comic strip creation sites. You are free to choose one of the five listed here or something else. TOONDOO is the site I use and am most familiar with. If you encounter problems using one of the other sites you have to search for a solution on your own.

• Witty Comics
• Make Beliefs Comix!
• Strip Generator
• ToonDoo

SOME OF THESE SITES HAVE PAY-ONLY FEATURES. YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PURCHASE ANY OF THESE FEATURES TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT.

Possible topics for your comic:

1. Differences between adults and teens.
2. Hassles of having to do chores.
3. Reasons why you don't like broccoli.
4. Positive message for mental health advocacy.
