Keep it Simple

Simple Story Think of a childhood story or poem that is close to your heart.

Simple Backgrounds Use basic colors to demonstrate day, night, forest, water. Keep your scene in one place. Create a background with two primary colors. One for ground and one for sky.

Simple Figures and Objects Limit the number of figures. Use one or two objects, if necessary.

Simple Dialogue Avoid complex dialogue. Use text if you need it. Let the pictures tell the story.
