Problem: Article: First sketch the frames. You will need to decide, based on the amount of dialogue in the script, what panel will need to be largest, smallest, etc. Just make sure that you keep within your size constraints. Next sketch in where the characters will go. Make sure that there is enough room for speech balloons. Try to place them in a way that the panel will not look too full or too empty. Sketch in where the speech bubbles will go. Remember not to cover characters or take up too much of the frame. Keep in mind that sometimes changing the speech bubble's shape can be used to indicate a particular voice. For example, a bubble with a shape like a cartoon sun (with the pointy edges) can make a character "sound" like they're yelling. Take advantage of this. For good examples of speech bubbling, see online comic Dumbing of Age or print comic Pearls Before Swine. After you know where the characters will go, you can sketch in a background or other objects if you want. Some comic strips have very detailed backgrounds, some only include the basic objects that the characters interact with. You can go anywhere in between or beyond. Go over your sketch lines with something dark and a little more permanent, so that they look clean and professional. Remember to use line width variation and other artistic tricks. When you're done you can erase the sketch lines. With the comic mostly drawn, you can add in text to the speech bubbles. Make sure to use a consistent font and text size. Even if a bubble is smaller, the text should always be the same size. Larger or smaller text indicates, respectively, whispering and shouting. Also make sure to use a legible font. If you want to, you can color your strip. Keep in mind that coloring is time consuming, and will significantly change the number of strips you are able to get done in a certain period of time.
Summary: Draw the frames. Sketch the characters. Add speech bubbles. Sketch backgrounds and scenes. Do your line work. Add text. Add color.

Problem: Article: . If you want to make your life matter, you need to focus on meaningful accomplishments. Set goals for yourself, based on your passions and wants, and work towards these goals.  Set specific goals that push you towards meaningful pursuits. For example, don't set a goal like, "I'm going to protect the environment." Focus on the specifics on how you might do this. For example, "I'm going to use my bike more and recycle cans and bottles."  It's important that you set goals you can reasonably accomplish. Say animal rights are important to you. A goal could be, "Get my school's cafeteria to switch to cage-free meat and eggs." While this a big goal, there are ways you can go about doing this. You can make a petition, talk to your teachers or professors, raise public awareness by handing out flyers, and so on. Repeat your goals to yourself when you get discouraged. Read your lists of personal goals each morning if you're having an off week. This can help you remind yourself why your goals are important and push you to work harder. Compassion is key to leading a meaningful life. If you want to influence those around you in a meaningful way, try to develop a sense of empathy for others.  Pay attention to the body language of those around you. This can give you insight into their emotions. Watch people's facial expression and how they carry themselves. Someone who's slumped over and frowning, for example, might be angry or sad.  Listen to people when they talk. It can be helpful to repeat what a person says in your own words when he or she finishes talking. This can assure that you're completely understanding these person's emotions. Ask people how they feel or how they're doing and make an effort to genuinely listen to their answer.  Read books and watch movies that deal with human emotion. Look for realistic stories that explore the feelings and emotions of characters. This can help you better understand those around you.  Be kind throughout the day. If you hear someone gossiping about another person, do not engage. Imagine how you would feel if you were on the receiving end of gossip. This can help you avoid the temptation to join in. In addition to being aware of others emotions, try to be aware of your own. Be aware of how you're feeling and how you can regulate those feelings in  a positive manner.  Emotions can vary in intensity. You may feel a little sad, for example, if you see a dead bird on the sidewalk. You may feel very sad if you get a bad grade on a test you worked hard on. Emotions, however, are temporary. They come and go with time and circumstance.  No emotions are inherently bad. However, how you express them matters. For example, you should yell at your mother if you did poorly on an exam. It can be helpful to talk about your emotions with those you're close to. This way, you get negative feelings out of your head and this can help you not lash out when you're upset.  Regulating your emotions is important to living a meaningful life. If you want to do good in the world, you have to take care of yourself as well as others. Work on fostering an awareness of your own emotions and expressing them in appropriate ways.
Summary: Set goals Live with compassion. Be aware of your own emotions.

Problem: Article: Using the ratio for a larger batch, make your hot mint tea. Just place the mint leaves in a large heat-safe bowl and pour the boiling water directly over the top. Allow to steep. To make a single serving, use the same mint–water ratio and method as you would for a mug of hot mint tea. Once the tea is ready, squeeze the lemon juice into the tea, making sure you don’t get any seeds in the tea. Add your sweetener of choice, to taste, if you want sweet tea. Stir vigorously to break down the sugar particles. Agave nectar also works well as a liquid sweetener and honey substitute. Once it’s cool, strain the tea into a pitcher and discard the used mint leaves. Refrigerate until it’s cold. When the tea has chilled, and you are ready to serve it, fill your glasses with ice. Thinly slice a cucumber and add a few slices to each glass. Pour the tea and enjoy.
Summary:
Make your mint tea. Stir in sweetener and lemon. Let the tea cool to room temperature. Serve over ice with cucumber.
