comic, how to...








hav u ever started a comic before? and finished it? maybe similar to what i do and here i provide a few tips. a clear timeline/procedure will help u wat stage u are on. so wen u are still inking, its around 30% of the total comic finished, not 50% or 70% (this only apply on coloured comic, so if bw comic 50% lah aa)

1. idea-includes story, characters, events etc etc. and maybe style of drawing.
2.character design-detailed illustration of the main characters, so that it will be consistent thru out the whole comic.
3.Know the page yr assigned. in this example is a 4 page comic. so divide it into intro, adventure stuff, actions and lastly ending.
4.draft is drawn first on a rough paper. i like to save paper...so i sketch the drafts on an used a4 paper which i divide it into 4. hence the 4 pages.
5.then on a new a4 paper/artblock...START DRAWING!!
6.Penciling, inking then
7.Colouring-traditional medium like watercolour/acrylic etc or digital like ps, painter etc.
8.to speed up, i like to colour the characters first on all pages so that i maintain consistency. then background. up to u anyway.
9.detailing
10.Add effects such as blur...smokes, explosions. i do this stuff later because it will take my time.
11.text. or speech dialogue. including sound effects.
