 Materials: pencil, colored markers, colored pencils Processes: First I made an outline with pencil. Then I used colored markers for the person, kiwis, and background. I did not perfectly fill in the outline in order to give room for other colored markers. Finally I used colored pencils for the kiwi beaks. Ideas: To go with the red and green theme I used different shades of the colors this time in order to make the pieces not look the same. After coloring in though I realized the guy looked like a watermelon! At first I was going to include the truck spilling out all the kiwis but I ended up leaving that out because I thought It would distract from the main focus. My idea is to show there are many kiwis ready to take over the world, starting with Tim and Scadoosh unfortunately. This piece leads to future pieces of them hiding and kiwis ravaging the town.

 Materials: pencil, colored markers, colored pencils Processes: First I made an outline with pencil. Then I filled in the outline with green and red markers starting from the bottom. After that I added dark and light gray marker. I added detail with colored pencil but this time I didn’t need to as much because I focused on the markers more. Ideas: My idea for this piece is to introduce the kiwis by changing the color scheme to specific colors while also keeping the real and cartoonish theme in the piece. At first I was going to have the kiwi still wearing the hat but I realized it would have come off when they took down the hood so I left it out.

 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.
