James 5:13-20













These are the final pages of the comic translation of James!
It has been a project one and a half years in the making, spanning two thousand years of Christian history, a true labor of love.
The project has challenged me to look deeper into my heart and my faith and seek to follow Christ in word and deed. Jame's message is not an easy one, but it resonates with a truth that is needed in our day, as it has always been needed.
The project has also given me the opportunity to venture into new territory for comic translation of the bible. I believe there is so much potential in this field, and we have only scratched it.
I would greatly appreciate any feedback you have on James. Please feel free to comment here, or send me an e-mail at earleygraham@aol.com.

How to Create a Bible Comic Part V: Inking

Inking is the step when you make the drawing ready for publication. In traditional printing media, black and white ink reproduces easier and clearer. The inks on these pages were drawn directly on the penciled pages. It is also possible to scan them in and digitally ink the pages.









How to Create a Bible Comic Part IV: Penciling

The next step in creating the comic is to refine the details of the drawing. This is often called penciling, because you use a pencil- or other non permanenant way of drawing that allows you to make changes. Using the Layout as a rough guide, it is now time to fill in the details of characters and settings. This is a place to work out the perspective of the drawing.
