Hey, ladies, gents, and genderless beings floating in the endless expanse of space! Below is my (very) rough draft for the final speech.

       In third grade, tiny me and a friend were inspired by the Captain Underpants books, and decided to start a comic. We called it Captain Peachy Comics, and we hand-drew every page. It never got sold, and I still have some of them. Recently, my brother found them, and now he has picked up drawing Captain Peachy. That character still occupies my homework sometimes. So it seemed almost natural to draw a comic for my twenty percent time. Sadly, it is not about Captain Peachy, but some new characters (they’re not fruit), and I think of these characters as my children.

            I was able to create the characters, draft the first and second chapters, draw the first chapter, upload the pages to a comic website, and even do a couple speedpaints towards the beginning! This did not quite line up with my goal of drafting to chapter four, but I also did not plan to do speedpaints or design different outfits for the characters, so I think that evens up. Also, I had to redraft chapter one and two because of lost data, so I can excuse myself. I won some and lost some, so I guess it was a draw!

            I learned so much about drawing comics and drawing quickly and accurately! I learned to manage my time and advertise my works. I still need to figure out some of the features of Medibang, the program I use, and I need to learn to pace my pages better. I need to figure out a better way to advertise.

            As I stated earlier, I lost the draft for chapter one and two towards the beginning and had to redraw them. I learned to get rid of same face syndrome, something I have trouble with. In the middle there, the site I was using updated and I couldn’t add pages to the comic for a while. I had to wait it out. Afterwards, I was unable to upload from my laptop, and had to transfer the pages to my phone then upload them with bad reception. I’m really proud of the fact that I drafted chapter one in a week, which is pretty quick. I figured out how to use the panel option in Medibang, which made things easier. I drew one page in perspective!!!

            Originally, I had a character in a wheelchair, but I had to cut her out. Maybe she’ll appear later? If I get to do tpt again, I’ll pace myself better. So with that, my final thought on the subject is: Chapter two, here I come!!!1!
