GenAI is to me like designing a machine to eat doughnuts for you. Just fundamentally pointless and weird. Making art is eating the doughnut; it’s the good part, the whole thing. What are you gaining by denying yourself that?

Celebrating the 6 week bookiversary of Graphic Novel Builder coming out. If you’ve not seen it yet it’s my guide for kids aged 11+ wanting to get started making comics or level-up their comic making skills. Adults seem to like it too!

Illustrated cover for Graphic Novel Builder: The Illustrated Guide to Making Your Own Comics by Edward Ross, with and Intro by Alice Oseman. Five teenagers at work around a huge dark blue sketchbook, which has the title on it. Finn draws on the cover, Jay types on a laptop, Sam pours colour into the book, and Rayah and Ash build a mix-and-match bird astronaut character out of pieces. Around them we see a variety of characters, including a dinosaur, robot, and adventuring fox.

A comic about making comics (the alt text took longer to write than the comic did to draw * I drew this a few years ago)

A 14 panel comic, a top tier of five panels shows a drawing of me, and in each of the subsequent panels the drawing of me gets simpler and simpler, with a cartoony drawing, a crude cartoon, then a stick man, then a smily face then a simple blob. Each time I'm saying "Hi"
Tier two, panel one, the smiley face is sad and saying "PJ! I can't draw!" "How can I make comics"
Panel 2, me as a simple cartoon "Oh that's ok, comics work..."
panel 3, me as a very crudely drawn figiure my head tilted at a funny angle and Im saying "No matter your skill level"
Panel 4 more simplistic drawing of me holding a ruler "As long as you can (sorta) draw a straight line " "(I use a ruler)"
Panel 5 even more simple drawing "And a bubble"
next (final) tier
Panel 1
A simple circle with two dots for eyes and a small line for a mouth and a balloon coming from his mouth saying "People can be quite forgiving about the artwork"
Panel 2 the round simple face meets a spikey simple face, spikey says "I'm not - I like GOOD artwork" me - "Oh"
Panel 3 me (still a smiley face, but straight line mouth ) I have two stick arms raised up with little stick fingers and I'm saying "...Sorry..."
Spike says "Bah"
Panel 4 (last panel) Me, slightly better drawn (but only just) "OK - not everyone is quite forgiving about art" "BUT I AM" "Good luck!"
