 Materials: pencil, colored markers, colored pencils Processes: First I sketched an outline with pencil. Then I filled in with colored markers. Then I went over the marker with colored pencils to add detail. I added splotches of green and red to hint at the transition from no color palette to mostly all reds and greens. Ideas: This piece is a transition from the normal to the apocalypse. The kiwi’s beak sticking out of the hood hints at a kiwi inside. I plan to use a different color palette and tone for future pieces. I’m tired of the simple, I’m ready to shake things up a bit.

 Materials: pencil Processes: I start with a pencil outline which I will later fill in with color. At first the proportions were off so I had to change it. Ideas: My idea is to get a little more realistic while also being cartoony. The only cartoon part will be their faces and a speech bubble. This piece is to show a transition to night time.

 Materials: pencil, colored markers, colored pencils Processes: I started with a pencil outline which I filled in with colored markers. I added dots for texture and quickly colored the sky for a loose feeling. I went over with colored pencil to soften the marker and to color in the comic. I used pencil and marker for the shadow. Ideas: This piece hints at what’s to come. It officially introduces the viewer to the kiwi birds and their intentions. This way the viewer is eased into the apocalypse that is to come... This also hints at why the truck is filled with kiwis which will be revealed in a later piece. The silhouette of the “guy” in the truck also hints at later pieces.

  Materials: pencil Process: I began with an outline and that’s it so far. Ideas: The idea is to officially introduce the kiwis and their plan.

  Materials: pencil, colored markers, colored pencils Process: First I made an outline with pencil. I used two points outside the piece to create perspective. Then I added color and some outlines. Colored pencil was added for texture and shadow. Ideas: This piece piece depicts Tom and Scadoosh starting their smoothie business! Their use of kiwi fruit is offensive to the kiwi birds so they start scheming for the most extreme revenge, world domination! This piece is meant to further the story and provide a setting.

Materials: pencil Process: I used a ruler and and two dots on the outside of the piece to show perspective. Ideas: This piece leads up to the epic conclusion of the story when the kiwi birds take over the world. Using kiwi fruit for smoothies is the final straw so kiwis soon plan world domination. I will do a similar piece later but during the apocalypse.  

Materials: markers, colored pencils Processes: First I drew an outline with pencil. I then colored in the hands, coffee cup, shirt, and comic. I erased the pencil as I went in order to not smudge the pencil marks with marker. The colored pencil was used over the marker to add shadows and detail. Ideas: My idea at first was to draw a coffee cup on a flat surface depicting Scadoosh (long haired guy) yet again pranking Tom (crazy yellow hair guy). I ended up drawing the coffee cup being held in order to add interest and to fit with my question. I changed the comic to just show them being friends to tell the reader that they are friends. The comic now leads up to my next piece. I changed the color of Tom’s shirt to aqua because a red background would have looked weird (also I had no good red marker).
