This comic book page that I drew took a lot of time and effort. I decided on the theme of “game night” after I had played a game of Uno with my grandparents over the weekend after we had ordered pizza. I wanted to incorporate a lot of my favorite games into my comic. The incorporation of Uno, I thought, was necessary, considering it was what made me think of the idea. I decided to draw the iconic “draw 4” card from Uno because I resonate the game with me being heavily annoyed after receiving that card and being immensely happy after putting down that card. In the second panel, I decided to draw a dart board. I love playing darts in person, even though I can’t aim for the life of me. I also really enjoy playing darts on my phone against friends, where I am much better and almost always win. I went with a more basic darts board, because all the details and numbers of a normal dart board would’ve started to look really messy, and I wanted this comic to be pretty simple looking. Next, I drew Jenga. I remember first learning how to play it with my dad after a soccer game when I was really young, and I’ve loved it ever since. Drawing this panel was probably the most difficult because figuring out the dimensions of each block and how to draw them was making my head hurt, but I’m happy with how it turned out. In the middle panel I drew a box full of pizza, also because I was eating pizza with my grandparents. I was drawing this panel late at night and the dimensions of the pizza box were also making my head hurt, even though it was way more simple than the Jenga pieces. Finally, I drew the corner of a Monopoly board because, to me, Monopoly really encapsulates the vibe of a typical game night. Even though, again, I am really bad at Monopoly, I still like to play it, mainly because I love all the little metal game pieces and the property names. Overall, these were the steps I took to create my comic about a classic game night with friends or family.
