Comic book illustrator

With-a-Y

I do not know if this the right place to ask so please remove the post if not. 

My autistic 11 year old son who has cerebral palsy and DCD has a special interest, desire, motivation to be a comic book writer.  He is not great at drawing and his handwriting is variable. His amazing little brain is bursting with volumes of his creative comic book characters and their plots, plans and stories which I would love to help him find a way to produce on paper.  Is there another young person or adult out there who loves to illustrate who could be interested in taking this on as a project or interest. Would love to hear from anyone who could translate my sons creativity from thoughts and ideas onto paper?  

thanks

  • and I do not know whether it is possible to say about an 11-year-old child that he does not draw well, not as most adults do not draw well and you need to learn how to draw. there are also different ways to draw. You can do without drawing at all, or draw on a computer in a special program where you can create a comic book from large computer models. you can make post-installation photos and then process them with filters and finish drawing details. first of all, a comic book is an idea and a story.

    those are good ideas... does the OP's son enjoy drawing? all they say is he's not gr8 at it. by uh, by whose standards? hopefully not an art teacher, lol! no offense. if he likes to draw, he should, and try different methods. if he's into it, he should. if he aint ... maybe that is the reason for the post.

    there's also collage... there's drawing, stick it on a computer, manipulate it with some draw program, print it, draw on it or paint by hand, etc............. so many possibilities. i'm just agreeing with previous posters that kids don't no they can't draw............imho, unless someone judged them...like peers or teachers. i never thought i could draw. later, i got a degree in fine arts in painting.

    best of luck to your son! (the OP son)
