A Graphic Novel by Raina Telgemeier
A graphic novel combines words with images. Usually, the creator begins with a loose outline of the story, figuring out how much dialogue should be on each page. The artist then starts work on the illustrations using pencils or ink on thick paper. He or she then collaborates with colorist Braden Lamb to create a finished image that includes digital coloring. The result is a stunningly unique and captivating graphic novel.
