How to Make a Fabric Book Cover

Step 1


jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('#jsArticleStep1 span.image a:first').attr('href','http://i.ehow.com/images/ehows/steps/fabbook1_L.jpg');
});

Place your book on a flat surface so that the spine of the book faces to your left. Measure the width of your book (side-to-side) and multiply this number by three. Add the width of the spine to this number and then write down the total inches.
Step 2

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('#jsArticleStep2 span.image a:first').attr('href','http://i.ehow.com/images/ehows/steps/fabbook2_L.jpg');
});

Measure the length of your book (top-to-bottom), add 3/4 inch to this measurement and write this number down as well.
Step 3
Place your fabric on a flat work surface, wrong side up. Use a yardstick or ruler, fabric marking pen and dressmaker shears to measure, mark and cut out a piece of fabric that is equal to the dimensions calculated in steps 1 and 2.
Step 4

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('#jsArticleStep4 span.image a:first').attr('href','http://i.ehow.com/images/ehows/steps/fabbook4_L.jpg');
});

Use a sewing machine to apply 1/4-inch, double-fold bias tape to the short edges of your fabric rectangle. Trim any excess bias tape.
Step 5

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('#jsArticleStep5 span.image a:first').attr('href','http://i.ehow.com/images/ehows/steps/fabbook5_L.jpg');
});

Place the fabric, wrong side up, on your work surface. Fold in each short edge of your fabric rectangle toward the center. Each folded-over flap should be about one-half of the book width calculated in step 1. Use dressmaker pins to keep the flaps in place.
Step 6

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('#jsArticleStep6 span.image a:first').attr('href','http://i.ehow.com/images/ehows/steps/fabbook6_L.jpg');
});

Place the book on top of the pinned fabric and slip the front and back covers of the book into the pockets formed in step 5. Make sure that the book will be able to close. Adjust the flaps if necessary.
Step 7

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('#jsArticleStep7 span.image a:first').attr('href','http://i.ehow.com/images/ehows/steps/fabbook7_L.jpg');
});

Apply 1/4-inch, double-fold bias tape to the remaining raw edges of the fabric. Keep the flaps in place when you enclose the edges with bias tape. This will create the pockets for the front and back covers of your book then draw on the wrapping paper on the back the white part.

how to make a comic more colorful

How To Make A Speech Bubble

There can be many different applications of picture-manipulation in JES. One of the best
applications is making a comic strip. In these comic strips, there are often characters that say
things. To indicate that a character is speaking, a speech bubble is often used. JES can be used to
make speech bubbles for these characters. This tutorial is a step-by-step tutorial that will show an
example of how to make a speech bubble.
Our desired result is as follows:
Assuming that all of this should be done inside of one function, then there are three main steps
required in order to obtain the above result:
1) Make the canvas
2) Make & copy the character onto the canvas
3) Make the speech bubble & add it to the canvas.
Making The Canvas
First, we have to define a function: let’s call it makeSpeechBubble. Also, be sure to set your
media path to the place where your character and canvas are located. We will also assume that
we are making a picture from a pre-existing canvas, which has a size of
640x480 pixels. Once we add the canvas, we want the entire background to be white. So far, this
is what our code looks like:
def makeSpeechBubble():
canvas = makePicture(getMediaPath("640x480.jpg"))
canvas.addRectFilled(white,1,1,640,480)
Making And Copying The Character Onto The Canvas
After making the canvas, the next step is to copy a character onto the canvas. In order to do this,
first, we have to make the picture, which is similar to making the canvas.
caterpillar = makePicture(getMediaPath("caterpillar.jpg"))
The easiest way to copy the caterpillar onto the canvas is using two for loops. For each pixel
(x,y), we will copy it onto the canvas at location (targetX,targetY), where the first value for
targetX and targetY will start at the value where the top-left corner of the image should appear.
targetX = 300
for x in range(1,getWidth(caterpillar)):
targetY = 20
for y in range(1,getHeight(caterpillar)):
c1 = getColor(getPixel(caterpillar,x,y))
setColor(getPixel(canvas,targetX,targetY),c1)
targetY = targetY + 1
targetX = targetX + 1
This means that we will copy the caterpillar onto the canvas, and the top-left corner of the
caterpillar will appear at (300,20) on the canvas.
Making and Adding The Speech Bubble Onto The Canvas
Now that we have a character that is copied onto the canvas, we have to make a speech bubble
for the character. In order to make the bubble and add it to the canvas at the same time, there is a
built-in JESS function called addOval. This function takes in five parameters (in the following
order): color, startingX, startingY, width, height. This will give you an oval
canvas.addOval(black,235,5,95,45)
Now that we have our actual speech bubble, we need to put the speech inside of it! Just like there
is an addOval function, JES also has a built-in addText function. The parameters for the addText
function are: color, startingX, startingY, “text”. It is best to specify the startingX and the
startingY somewhere inside the bubble. For example, the speech bubble itself starts at (235,5), so
starting the text at (235,5) would not be a good idea. Instead, starting the text at (255,22) ensures
that the entire text will appear inside the speech bubble. Since I was “CS1315!” to appear in a
new line, I will start that text at (260,28). This will give the appearance that “CS1315!” is
centered under “Hello! I love”.
canvas.addText(blue,255,20,“Hello! I love”)
canvas.addText(blue,260,38,“CS1315!”)
After all of this is done, it is important to remember to return the canvas. If you want to save the
final result, you can put in a writePictureTo statement, which will write the canvas to a file.
However, if you want it to be executed, it must be placed before the return statement.

how to make a comic strip

Making a comic strip is very easy and fun to do. Get a piece of paper and think about who or what your cartoon is going to be about. When you have figured that out, you may want to write that as the title of your cartoon. Perhaps your main character is going to be an animal.

2Draw a box with the props, setting, characters etc. of the story. If you want your characters to talk, draw a circle with a curved triangle pointing out of the circle, directed to the character that is talking. If you want them to be thinking, draw two or three little clouds coming from them with the last (top) cloud being large enough for what you are writing. An even better method is to write the text that will be in the thought bubble or speech box before drawing the box or bubble itself. This way, there is no way you can make the bubble too small.
3You may need to use more boxes called panels to tell your story/cartoon. Cartoons are usually funny, so try to make your cartoon have at least one joke.

edit Tips
You should have a good story.
You should start with an easy comic character, like a stickman.
You may want to make a sequel to your cartoon. If you make a cartoon, and plan to make a sequel, you may want to say 'To be continued' at the end of the comic strip.
When a character is speaking, you may want to write what they are saying (or thinking) before you draw the speech bubble or thought cloud.
If you want to make an animated cartoon, comic cartoons are a good storyboard.
Try reading and looking through your favorite comics. Pick out some of the things the writer does that you like and use them in your own comics.

How to Draw Funny Cartoon Characters

This tutorial describes how I turn a cartoon pencil sketch into a finished color cartoon logo. This is the process I use in getting a design from paper to disk. There are many ways to create digital vector cartoon art, this is just one of those ways. The first thing to do is decide what you are going to draw. For this demonstration I have chosen to draw a funny cartoon cow. Before I start sketching I research the Internet, books and many other sources looking for design inspiration. I also make sure I have good picture examples so I can make a cow look like a cow. The tools I use for my sketching process are very simple and inexpensive. I use cheap disposable mechanical pencils to draw with (7mm lead) and everyday copy paper to draw on. I place a small light box on top of my drawing table and draw on the light box. I draw lightly at first to get the shape of my subject sketched out. I then erase and redraw many times on each part of the design until I am 100% happy. The cow's hand in the first picture shows that I erased and redrew the hand multiple times. I loosely sketch all parts of the character beginning with the head. I darken the design by retracing over it several times as I become happy with the look. The first full pencil sketch is the final rough for this design.Scanning comes next. I scan the pencil design using an Epson Stylus Photo RX620 scanner/printer, nothing fancy. I scan at 300 dpi., 24 bit color and save the image as a .TIFF file. I use a Mac G5 with dual 2.0 processors for all of my computer work. Once scanned, I open the design in Adobe Photoshop CS2 where I begin to clean it up. I lighten, erase and thicken lines to get the design exactly as I want it. This is basically how I ink my designs the inkless way! It sure comes in handy when you make a mistake, just undo and the mistake is gone!I convert the design to grayscale. When finished the design is black and white and as clean as possible. All lines are smooth and there are almost no jagged edges. This is the final drawing and looks exactly like it has been inked.The next step is to convert my bitmap image into a vector art image. I now use Adobe Illustrator CS2 which has it's own built in auto tracing program. I open a new file and place the finished Tiff file. I use the comic art setting in Live Trace to create my vector image. Hit expand and it's done. I ungroup the image and delete the white square background around the outside of the image. At this point each part of the cartoon cow vector image can be highlighted and color can be added with the click of a mouse. I sometimes make last minute changes at this stage. Notice that I changed the flowers on the cow and I also added a thicker outline around the cow to make it stand out more and repositioned the tail slightly.Once the cartoon image is vectored and colored I am ready to turn it into a logo. I scroll through hundreds of fonts picking any that I feel might work for the design and the client. I then take those fonts and create the logotype using each font face. I throw out any that I do not like. I look for fun, cartoony and unique lettering. When I have a typestyle that I really like I normally try to change the font in a way to make it unique to that client. I may stretch a letter, curve the words or combine two different fonts.If a background is needed I create it in Illustrator. I create circles, squares, fades and other effects until I have one I am happy with. Circles are the most popular shape for logos.This is a bogus cartoon logo design I created for a t-shirt company. I used a circle with cow spots for the background and used two different fonts. The top font was curved following the circle path using the tools in Illustrator.I now have a vector art design saved as an .AI file. I usually keep this as my original raw file. I also create a vector .EPS file in which I convert the text to curves to avoid any font conflicts with possible printers. I then actually reopen the design in Illustrator and make any last minute color changes and might add a little shading to the design. This cartoon cow was created as a possible t-shirt design for a very well known t-shirt company. The design was not purchased but was later sold to an up and coming search engine website.

How to Sketch your own Comic Book Characters

Sketching cartoon characters or even making one up of your own can be great fun. There are many books that concentrate on sketching particular comic characters--but simply perusing the Sunday comics and picking your favorites can lead someone to draw comics. My wife grew up copying and sketching Charlie Brown and Lucy from "Peanuts," which got her started on drawing.Step 1
Gather supplies and find a comfortable, flat place to work with plenty of space. Determine what cartoons you want to draw and search for pictorial references, Sunday comics or even library books that will guide in sketching your favorite comic characters.
Step 2



An example of a thumbnail sketch and sketching characters out.
Sketch out your ideas loosely--this will free you up to practice, figure the layout you want to incorporate and how you'll use shapes as building blocks to form characters, fleshing them out and drawing them in greater detail. This process is called a thumbnail sketch, which many artists--like Charles Schulz--have used to determine where to place things and draw them. This can also be done to practice drawing characters on their own.
Step 3
Get some quick lessons on proportion if you are doing realistic human figures or experimenting with how you want your own comic character to look. Having these basic building blocks of drawing skills can help even in copying a famous cartoon character or making up one of your own.
Step 4



Start practicing with stick figures.
While doing stick figure gesture drawings, experiment with motion and movement. "Move" your comic character in different ways. Start with the basics of gesture movements and learn how to flesh the characters out. This will make your cartoon character look much more realistic. Action adds much more to any comic whether you're drawing a character as simple as Bart Simpson or more complex figures like Superman.
Step 5
Flesh out your comic character by sketching out favored shapes. Also, practice drawing your comic character doing different activities. This is the time to experiment with facial expressions to show different emotions, speech patterns and props.

How to Make Your Own Comic Cover

Step 1
Measure the size required for your comic book cover. Classic comics used dimensions of 6.625 inches by 10.25 inches, although you can use any size you want (provided it matches the size of the comic interior, if applicable).
Step 2
Include space at the top of your cover for a title, and any attendant sales text. If your cover is based on an existing comic book, emulate the title design as closely as possible. Otherwise, you can design your own title and logo as you wish. The title needs to fit over the artwork without obscuring anything important, as does the sales text, which usually appears in a dynamic bubble in one of the lower corners.
Step 3
Sketch out your comic book cover using pencils, so you can adjust and erase it as needed. If you want to make your cover on a computer, you can use programs such as Adobe Photoshop.
Step 4
Ink the lines of your drawing once it is complete, including the title and ad copy. Once you ink the cover, it is more or less set so make sure the image is exactly how you want it before beginning this step.
Step 5
Color and shade your inked drawing to complete the look. Comic book covers are usually bright and colorful to better pop off the newsstand.
Step 6
Place a small white rectangle in the bottom lefthand corner of your comic book. This is where the bar code traditionally goes, and while it's not necessary, it does give your comic an air of authenticity.
Step 7
Print your cover out if you're using a computer or run off a photocopy shrunk to the appropriate size.

how to make a funny comic book

1Practice drawing people, animals, backgrounds and props such as furniture, food items, TV set etc.




2Create characters. Choose catchy names for them. Experiment with all types of characters, not just ordinary people. Try super-humans, aliens, inanimate objects coming to life. And don't forget animals. Animals make excellent characters because they can mimic or enlarge certain characteristics that you want the character to portray. For example, an owl with a large head for a brainy character, a dog with a frown for a grouchy character or a hyena with a cheesy smile for a character who always sees the funny side of life.
3Think of a short, amusing tale or a humorous skit featuring a joke for your comic. Also make sure to adapt your jokes for the age group that you intend this comic for. For example, complicated jokes will be hard for young children to understand.
4Make a rough copy of your first comic. Use the tale or the joke to develop the storyline. A rough copy is a basic version of your comic, using stick figures or quick drawings to show what your comic strip is about.
5Find a good name for your comic. Make sure it goes with the subject of your comic.
6Make a good copy of your comic. A "good copy" is the real version of your comic, with all the detail and color completed. You can scan your comic into your computer and color it if you are computer savvy.
7Show the comic to family and friends. Ask them to read it. This will help you to gauge how funny and successful your comic is, which will guide your future comic-making.
8Keep your comic in a safe place because someday you might want to get it published.

edit Tips
Start drawing rough copies with an erasable pencil and once you get better at doing this, you can draw the comic straight out, using just a pen and paper.
If you mess up your comic, don't get mad, just try again.
There is no harm looking at existing comic strips for ideas and style suggestions but don't copy. It is very important to develop your own style.
Sometimes families can be of great inspiration! Try portraying a funny moment or story in your comic. If you do this, though, make sure that it isn't too long, and it doesn't reference "inside jokes" or "running gags" with your family that would need to be explained, as these tend to make the comic far less funny.
Carry a notebook with you wherever you go. You never know when a funny idea will strike, so be ready to write it down, because chances are you'll forget it.
Not all comics are strips. You can do a "Sunday comic" (long, usually takes up a lot of room) or you can do a "weekday comic" (short, usually three to four panels), or even a one-panel comic! The New Yorker has a ton of these short gag comics.
If you tend to write long-winded comics and your artistic skill is salvageable, maybe you should look into a graphic novel. These, though extremely time consuming, can be very fun and rewarding to do.
Don't really go by what your parents say. Even if it is terrible they will tell you anything you do is great.

How to Make an Anime Comic

step 1 Learn about anime drawing styles. Before you create your own anime comic, you have to make sure you understand how to draw the anime way. Watch a lot of classic anime, anything from Sailormoon to Gundam Wing. Anime characters usually have extremely large eyes, small noses, crazily styled hair and wacky hair colors. Make sure you understand all of these basic requirements to drawing anime.
Step 2
Think of a fantastic anime plot. Lots of anime plots are based on every day life, such as high school situations and romances. However, some of them revolve around adventure and justice, such as the aforementioned extremely popular Dragonball Z series. Whatever style of story you would like to write, make sure that the characters are fun and endearing. An anime comic can be about almost anything, but the stories are usually dreamy, whimsical, romantic or adventurous. Lots of anime comics are based on heroes and villains.
Step 3
Develop your own anime characters and their own styles and personalities. Anime characters always have distinct looks and styles. Do you want your main characters to be spunky? Forgetful? Daring? Do you want them to have green hair? Long hair? Dress in space costumes? Give your characters an identity. What could make your own anime character stand out from all the others that are already out there? Be creative.
Step 4
Once you have the background in place, start to draw and write your anime. Your drawing scenes have to correspond with the dialogue and actions, so this can be time-consuming. You will have to do a lot of drawing.
Step 5
Voila! You're done with your first anime comic. Now, you can show all of your friends your new anime creation.

Once you have put together your own comic book you can give copies to your friends to show them your unique comic book.Step 1Research what comic books you like. Note the style of the illustrations and what types of heroes and heroines are in these comic books. Comic books can vary widely, from futuristic space operas, to detective dramas, even to medieval adventures. Note the style of drawings and which ones seem to leap off the page at you. Strive to emulate the best parts of the comic books you love while creating your original world.

Step 2Create the characters for your comic book. Draw a blueprint for each major character so that you can use this as a reference while drawing your comic book. Create these characters using a basic frame. Draw an oval for the head, rectangle for the chest and an upside down triangle for the pelvis. Create the legs and arms with simple lines. Layer on muscles with oblong football shapes. Major muscles like the pectorals and quads can be drawn with large oval shapes. Smaller muscles like biceps and triceps can be done with smaller, more-round oval shapes.

Step 3Create the costume for your hero. Take into account what kind of hero or heroine you are creating. For instance, if your character is stealthy and lurks in shadows, then dark masks and black clothes should be used. If your character is a bold and strong hero, perhaps consider bright colors and a flashy cape.
Step 4Lay illustrations on a comic book page. These should be on pages that are 11 inches wide and 17 inches long. This will allow you to draw larger than needed and reduce the image, which will improve the quality. Lay out your comic book panels using a "Z" format that allows a reader to follow the action from left to right, diagonally left and then right. Another way to lay out a page is to start with a large picture showing a lot of action and then continue diagonally left and to the right for smaller frames that help support the main action.
Step 5Ink your pages using a black ink pen. This will help the illustrations remain crisp and highly detailed even when they are reduced in size. Place thicker lines of black wherever there is a shadow. Let each page dry completely and then carefully erase your pencil strokes with a kneaded eraser.
Step 6Color each page using art markers. Make a photocopy of your inked work before coloring the comic book to preserve a black and white copy of the book. Once the comic book is completed you can take each finalized page to any copy shop and have the book bound and printed. Keep in mind that a black and white comic book will be much cheaper to print than a color comic book.
