Writers and artists in comics, especially the variety using a formula of super-heroes and tries a new job in this new category can often assume that editors are just looking for simple or dumbed-shot versions of existing titles of Comics. Fortunately for us, they are sadly wrong. Comics and Graphic Novels for kids can be so demanding, if not more, than most traditional superhero titles. This is because children are looking for devices that use the imagination to see it on many levels-convincing scenarios, fun characters, colorful illustrations and fantastic.
In many ways, the children of the same types of characters in most other books are looking specifically created for children. Not surprisingly, have the young boy characters, girls and boys and girls girl characters love stories with boys and girls. Of course there is much more complicated than this, and we hope to have more ideas for creating characters from children's books charts.
As any designer is the first rule that there are no rules. It really is subjective. All items of this kind can hope to do, you will be an understanding of what already exists and perhaps offer the conventional wisdom of the day. But nothing can and will happen often. Superman's creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster created the Man of Steel from their personal fancies, and were lovers of nature, while Batman creator Bob Kane had more success on the creation of a property that would make him rich. So it is indeed far more noble-sounding encourage you, your dreams of this kind, most of your personal visions and ideas are able to follow, is it true that the major characters can be created without cynicism or even by accident. In some cases, even as a sign of parodies of celebrities or existing properties, then their own visits were like Miss Piggy Miss Peggy Lee and Peter Laird, Kevin Eastman Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been inspired to create is a parody of a race Comics by Frank Miller Daredevil.
One of most successful manga created for children, is bone of Jeff Smith. As the most popular features are the characters involved in the Bone on an epic journey, a little like the quests in Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter. But the latest sensation in childhood Graphic Novels Jeff Kinney Diary of a Wimpy Kid series is rooted much more in the everyday reality of childhood. Although appear at first sight, these two sentences may very different in every way, the larger than life fantasy elements of bone, prosaic reality Wimpy Kid, Bone lush graphics, art style of stick figures Wimpy Kid is also outstanding character metaphorical or actual travel quests to catch the attention of a younger audience.
Is it important that the characters neither bones, nor the children of the people? Of course not. What counts is that to recognize the signs that children are easily recognizable types, understand, and what are. That brings us to the question of how one can create such characters? Perhaps the real question should be how we can create a story that will inspire the young audience say? Most of the characters of fiction most children are a little simpler, almost seems one-dimensional characters who are the players make, as he embarks on a fantastic journey. Whether you are Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz or Alice in Wonderland, experience the story of this character. As Nancy Drew solves a mystery to the reader a Super Sleuth is secret. When Hannah Montana is a pop star, the reader is directly next to her on the stage.
But how does this relate to the world of manga? Unlike prose, which despite descriptions of the physical presence of the main characters, a reader may at any time in the role of the protagonist project to show Graphic Novels exactly what is the protagonist of the story (although the style of drawing stick figures Wimpy Kid and amorphous blob creatures in bone provides the reader with a clever way to identify) and it is important that readers respond positively to the presentation of character. Fortunately, the cartoon characters in general are very friendly. In general, the main character is usually more than one for all children, not just intoxicating clear in any way, unless it is something that can usually vice of some kind of character a certain ability or power, but it can not just from the look on the character of the hand.
Although most of the cartoon characters always wear the same clothes every day of their lives do not seem in the four-color comics and graphic novel characters so different. The characters like Tintin or Geronimo Stilton can change their clothes to their changing environments, but they will soon return to their traditional costumes as early as possible.
But clothes are not sufficient to create unforgettable characters of children's graphic novel. Very often it is something unique for visually defines the characters apart. This could be a physical property, or the distinctive style of the artist drawing the character. Of course it helps if the distinction significant visual nature such as lightning scar on the forehead of Harry Potter, but it could only be a distinctive hairstyle, as is the case with characters such as Bart Simpson, Naruto Charlie Brown, Archie Andrews or Tintin.
Of course, it is useful if the character is designed to tell the kinds of stories you hope to fit. A character designed to be a competitive swimmer, for example, should be something that he or she is against other swimmers, but in a way which is not unlikely, or make cartoony would - unless the series itself is intended to , on-the-top. A consistent art style is also logical. For drama, must not appear incredibly animated character, and just as you would not figure a humorous look too serious.
Theoretically, your character may be anything. If you happen to be an expert in the rock, and I think we can stories about a character that actually a rock-go to do! It does not matter who your main character, always the sign of visibility and be able, as many adventures as convincing as possible. If you have been secretly hoping for a series of graphic novels in your dog, is a historical figure like a child, or a light bulb, there is no reason you can not do no rule that says that these ideas are not allowed. Although you can search online to see if your character is the name not already taken - you want to create no time, a character that already exists waste.
The creative challenge was to put together your graphic novel, either alone or with an artist or writer, and create a story that inspires your chosen audience. A simple way to see if you are in the right direction, is compiling a presentation for a group of children you hope to enjoy your comic. You probably will not take more than a few blankets and some sample pages full of history. When children react to nature in a favorable direction, and love stories you've created, you're on the right track. You can find all the other players first as open and honest as a child. You will know immediately whether they are bored or excited.
Creating characters is not simple. And creating your character is only the first step. And it should be noted that there is no market for the characters themselves. Publishers buy books, not ideas, if you combined all the graphic novel need before approaching a publisher. And after he had written and drawn graphic novel by your children, the hardest part begins to find a publisher (if you want to publish it himself). Comics and graphic novel publishers are bombarded with presentations, all the time. Some even refuse to avoid new elements to be considered legal risks problem, for example, a publisher can already sell a similar project have worked, and when they look at you before they are published, you can assume that they stole Your idea and pursue it.
But the sale of a graphic novel is a whole 'nother story. Creating a Graphic Novel Children's character is an exciting challenge. If you are successful and go to a children's comic character (and series) to create a classic in the field can the rewards be greater than you can imagine. It is possible, competition is great, but if you love that special magic that generations of children, some have to go then by all means, get to work and it ! do
