Everybody likes comics. From the most famous 'The Simpsons' to the nerdy type 'P.H.D', different kinds of comics are appreciated by different group of people. Integrating comics into classes in a very interesting idea, but not a practical one, considering the amount of work and effort one need to put into. But not now anymore!
The appearance of Pixton has changed almost everything we know about this field. Pixton brings the techniques that were normally used by profession people in the comics field to ordinary lives, and makes comic-drawing much easier than before.
As can seen in the demo on Pixton's website, after a simple online registration process, you can get right started with the comic production process. The first things you might want to set for the whole comics is probably the main characters. The website has provided many different types of characters for your choice. If you are not satisfied with any of them, it is totally fine to start fresh and build your own characters from scratch. The best part of this software is that the characters are built in part and thus these parts can be reused easily in the future production. Therefore, you will be experiencing something that you can never get with paper and pencils.
The website has integrate lots of functions to make your creation process easier. Many of the functions, like enlarging, rotation, are well known by people while using other software, like powerpoints. Thus, it is very easy to get started with.
Imagine this, the students from a Mandarin course come to the class with their projects on drawing a full set of comics with all the conversation between the characters in Mandarin and present it to each other. In the process where they may read the comics drawn by each other, they are also reading Mandarin which is embedded in the conversation between characters. How cool is that!
