step 1: choose what type of comic you are going to do. and what style, it might be an idia to pratice a bit first before you begin. also think up your basic plott and stuff like charciters
coose your comic layout, four boxies are usally popular or you could just mix and match up the boxies. it dosent relaly matter how you choose to do it.
don't forget to check your resorces like most importantly what paint program you have on your computer!
step 2: once you've got all the boxies and layout and stuff done grab your pencil. make shour its a pritty dark one cause it needs to be able to show up when you scan it in. don't bother with pen, its jsut a waste of time. (you'll see why in a minet)
step 3: now yu have your fall drawn comic. you can choose wether or not add writing on it now or when you get on the computer. honistly i don't care but it helps with the layout. now just scan it in!
step 4: you should have your comic up on your computer now, ready to colour in. remeber to grey scale it and put it back to rgb colour. (16-bit colour or what ever it was origernally) now add a layer on to of it. his is where the fun begins!
step 5: go over the intire comic in black. and make shour its on the new layer, dont worry if you don't have a tablet if you zoom up you can do it just as well with a mouse. though it dose help if you have a tablet. dont bother going over the writing in black, we do that last.
step 6: now you've gone over it in black you add anouther layer, and make shour its under the one you did the going over on. then all you need to do is colour it in! the best bit is that you can go over the lines and the lines will still be their! and its less agrivateing then when you do it in pen cause if you do it in pen you spend ages doing the white bits. talk about annoying!
step7: add in all the little details and shadeing. i usally do this on the colour layer. but if you wish you can make a new layer for it.
step 8: add backgrounds if you havent already.
step 9: put in the text on anouther new layer.
step 10: have anouther layer under the text layer's but above all the others and put in your speah bubbles. some people wonder how to make those see through bubbles all you need to do is make the opacity like 20 or summin and colour it in.
and ta da! one nice comic is the finished product! and it probably wont even take very long ^^
