Considering that the Double Ninth Festival is a festival to respect the elderly, we can design some plots related to the elderly around this theme, such as their lives, families and activities.

At this stage, you can first outline the general shape and movements of the characters and the layout of the scene with simple lines. On the basis of sketching, start to draw the details of each scene one by one.
Third, after drawing the details, start coloring the comics. Character expressions, scene details, color matching, text content. Pay attention to the collocation and coordination of colors when coloring, and the echo of colors with themes and plots. For example, warm colors can be used to express warm scenes, and cool colors can be used to express sad scenes.
Fourth, add words to comics. Text content, including dialogues and inner monologues, can be used to supplement the picture information and enhance the coherence and readability of the story.
