Pixton-Make Comics

 


Hello everyone!

I named my blog Learn with Fun, because I think the best and fun way to learn is to learn by having fun. Sor this reason, I always try to share funny applications with you and today my topic is Pixton.

Pixton is a fun web application where students will first create their own avatars and then comics with their classmates.

How to use?

First, you need to log in to the site and create an account. After creating an account, you need to create your own avatar. To add a comic, you first need to choose a theme and background. You can add other characters in addition to your avatar. You can change the shape of the speech bubbles, your typefaces. You can change the mood of your character according to the situation and create a more realistic story. After creating a story, when you click the save button, your story will appear in your account.

I tried it and it was very enjoyable. I really liked studying with Pixton. It is my one of favourite apps. Here is my work and my cute character. 🤗🤗💕💕

This is my character 👇
