Answer 2

Step 1 – Creating a story idea for your comic book

Let us say the topic is “Fun with Friends”. As an example, I have written a short story on this topic in the narrative form below.

It’s morning, and a little six-year-old girl is playing on a swing in a park. Another kid walks along to the girl on the swing. Boy to the girl, “Hi, Sarah, my dad has got me a pet.” Sarah looks excited, “Wow…what is it?”

“It’s a duck, and you know it can speak too,” says the boy. “A duck that can speak?” asks Sarah, now looking curious. The boy brings out his hand that he had behind his back all the while, springing it up close to the girl’s face. It was a hand puppet of a duck! “Hi Sarah, I am Mr Doodle Duck”, the boy squawks out aloud.

Step 2 – Creating the panels

Now that we have a short story, we move on to making a comic script from it. Here we determine the number of panels you will need to tell the story, and the dialogues for the characters will be indicated. I use a grid format, shown below, that helps me to create the panels.

Step 3 – Time for the Drawing Board

Next, we move on the drawing board. There are two ways to go about this. There is the traditional way which is done on paper or the digital way using basic software, like Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.

For those who want to do it the traditional way.

First, use a drawing paper you can get from a stationery shop. Second, based on the number of panels in our story, we will draw the boxes. In this example, we have four panels – the credits panel, which carries the name of the strip and the writer/ artist details, followed by the story. Third, pencil your art very lightly. As shown below:

 

Once you are satisfied, you can then ink it using a micro tip pen, preferably black. So that it’s dark and clear, and will reproduce well after it is scanned.

After you’ve done that – we finally come to the colours and letters. This is a process that can be done simultaneously. I have used Adobe Photoshop for the colours and Adobe illustrator for the letters. In an ideal situation, you would have a letterer and a colourist who would do this job.

The letterer would find a suitable font and speech bubbles to place in the strip. The colourist would be following the script to understand the mood of the story to fill in the colours. But you can do this all yourself with an understanding of fonts and colours.

Here is the final panel art coloured and lettered.

Don’t forget to read these useful tips!

1. Select fonts that are legible.

2. Speech bubbles should be placed ideally away from art. Try not to overlap important scenes in your picture.

3. See that the speech balloon pointers are appropriately placed.

4. There is enough “breathing space” between the text and the inside edge of the balloon.

5. Many artists use their own palette, a selection of colours, for colouring. So, they have uniformity in style and consistency. But there are no hard and fast rules; you are free to experiment.

6. Lastly, have fun while you are at it!
