    4.  Create the Character for Page 1
                            Use the "Shape Tool" or "Brush Tool" to create a character for the story.

                            Draw the character in action (e.g., walking, running, talking).
                             Add details such as clothes, accessories and facial expressions to make the
                            character more engaging.

                     5.  Add Text for Page 1

                            Use the "Text Tool" to add the story text to the page.
                             Ensure the text matches the actions and background of the character. Write
                            a short narrative that explains what is happening in the story.
                     6.  Design the Background for Page 2

                            Create a new background for the second page of the storybook.

                             This can be a continuation of the scene from Page 1 or a new setting. Adjust
                            colors and shapes to match the tone of the story.
                     7.  Create the Character for Page 2

                             Use the "Shape Tool" or "Brush Tool" to create the same character, but now
                            show them in a different action (e.g., sitting, jumping, talking to someone).
                            You can change their expression to reflect the story’s progression.

                     8.  Add Text for Page 2
                             Add the text for Page 2. This part of the story should continue the narrative,
                            leading to a conclusion or next event.

                     9.  Refine Your Storybook
                             Adjust the size and position of the character, text and background elements
                            for balance.

                             Ensure that  both  pages  have a consistent  style  and that  the character’s
                            actions match the story.
                     10. Save and Export

                            Save your project in Sketch.io for future editing.
                            Export the final storybook as a PNG or JPEG file for sharing or printing.

                     Quick Tips:

                       Use the "Undo" button to fix any mistakes quickly.
                        Zoom in for detailed work, especially on smaller elements like the character’s

                         face or text.
                        Experiment  with different colors, shapes  and textures  to  create  a visually
                         appealing storybook.

                        Use consistent colors for the character’s clothing and accessories to keep the
                         character recognizable.

                                                                                                     Digital Storytelling  91
