Wisdom Tale Comic: Antlers

I chose to make a comic for the wisdom tale Antlers. Antlers sends a message to say that everything serves a purpose. I chose Antlers because I like how the story interprets the moral and puts it into the eyes of a deer and a hunter. Even though the tale is very short, it goes through the same process of having a character with a series of events that changes their perspective, which is how the moral came to be. I also just like the fact that it has animals instead of humans as the main character. I guess it is just more interesting that way to me 🦌 🌲.

I made it by (1) using Comic Life to make the layout and (2) using Sketchbook to make the illustrations. Here are the steps of how I made the comic:

  1. download Comic Life
  2. make a new comic design
  3. choose your layout for your comic
  4. add text to it (speech bubbles, thought bubbles, etc.)
  5. go to Sketchbook and create multiple images depicting the events in your story. I drew with a black marker to make the outline of what I wanted to draw and then filled it in with color.
  6. take screenshots of those pictures for your story
  7. add the screenshots to Comic Life in the image bubbles with each blank space.
  8. That’s it 💭 📖
