3. Steps in using Make Belief Comix:
1. The MakeBeliefsComix app will default to a three-panel comic strip. Use the blue
scroller bar in the Cast of Characters section below to view all of the available
characters. Click on a character you like and four different versions of that same
character will then appear.
2. Select the one you like for your story and he or she will appear in the blank panel
you are working on (the one with a red bar around it).
3. You manipulate the character in the panel by using the panel tools below the
selected panel. The choices are Move, Scale, Bring to Front, Flip (horizontally) and
Delete. First select the tool you wish to use. Then select the object in your panel for
the action to occur.
4. To place a talk or thought balloon for the character in which you can type words,
click on our Balloons library and choose the size you wish. Use the scroll bar to see the
sizes available.
5. Do the same for Objects, Words and Backgrounds for your comic. (See the color
wheel in the Backgrounds section.) You can build a comic story of up to 9 panels by
clicking on the box with a plus (+). If you don’t like how the panel you are working on
looks, delete it by clicking on the negative box (-) at the top left over the panels.
6. Click on the PRINT/EMAIL button. On this page you will be able to review your
completed panels, go back and edit your panels, print your comix or save the comic
panels to your desktop or image directory. You may also email your panels to yourself
or friends and family. Make sure you have named your comic and included the author's
name.
