Mini Comic Challenge

Image
Here's an invitation to join me in a challenge: Write and draw 12 pages of comics in three months (from June 7th to Sept 7th) At the end of three months print in A6 mini comic format The rules above are really the only two rules I will set as such. Some suggestions however could be: Keep it simple, eg, B&W printing Add a cover to your 12 pages, eg a 16 page mini comic containing 12 pages of actual comics Try to make a coherent story rather than just a collection of snippets or doodles Participants can encourage each other and maybe even launch their books togther Participants Ive Sorocuk Matthew H T Emery  Ian McMurray  David C Mahler  Leonie Brialey  Neale Blanden Andrei Buters  Josh McCrimmon Adi Firth Sarah Firth Tom Edwards I have also set up this Mini Comic Challenge Community over at Google+, if you have a google account you can join the community and post progress notes and or images

New Drawing Adventures
