Create your Comic by Pixton!

I have no idea how to create a storyboard in comic format. But with Pixton, you can become an awesome artist! I discovered this application while searching for online creativity tool. The most encouraging part is my elder son like to sketch very much. All this while he has been sketching his storyboards in his books and loose papers! In this post, I will explore Pixton and I intend to share the application with my son and friends!

Pixton is a web application for drawing comic and developing animation. It is one of the most popular and easy to use comic creator.  The application is fun and joy to use. Even without any drawing skill, you would be able to produce an amazing comic!

Pixton is not a free application but the price tag is reasonable. For beginners, there is a trial version with a basic package offered.

Instead of using normal pictures/image/photo, the ideas of using comic in classroom is superb. Teachers can create avatar for students and put it into social stories. I believe students will love it very much.

In my opinion, this is one of the best idea or approach teachers can take to discover and nurture children's talent. Making cartoons or comic allows children to expand their imagination without limitation, build their creative thinking, develop ideas to complement their stories. At the same time, they can hone their skills in spelling and writing. Multiple skills combination in making a comic helps in children development in a very attractive and fun way. Teachers may also think of ideas of having comic storyboard as lesson plan!

Here is a simple comic created by my son for you to enjoy!
