Production phase of comics

Tracing the hand drawn panel scene in Adobe Illustrator with pen tool and addition of colours:

Size: A4 size

Progress: 

Hand-drawn images are either photographed or scanned and transmitted to the computer to be traced in Adobe Illustrator for the production of the comic digitally.

Words are added later after done with tracing and adding of colours. Bubbles are designed and given white colour. Font format is Book Antiqua and size around 8-9 pt.

The speech bubbles added should be starting from left to right or up to down  to not confuse the reader.

The design of cover page is sketched and designed in AI. Krita is used to add enhancement for the entire comics for examples, adding luminiscent and shadows for the illustartions.

The font is Blackrose. The font are later applied 'create outline'. This is done so that it will be no more read as font but rather vector.

From this activity, I learned to do a simple comic from preproduction phase to production using digital form.
