Writing your own funny comic strip
a. Practise drawing and create your characters.
In order to ensure that you're at your very best, create sketches of basic items. People, animals, backgrounds, and props are excellent subjects to begin with.
Choose attractive names for them and dip deep into your characters. This will help you connect to them, and you'll be able to bring them to life in your comics.
b. Think of a short, amusing tale or a humorous skit featuring a joke for your comic.
Once you establish a basic plot, write down the main story with additional details.
c. Make a rough copy of your first comic.
Determine its structure, as well as the size of the boxes that will contain the characters and their story. Use stick figures or quick drawings to figure out the basic skeleton of your comic. Do not worry about doing your best, as this is a rough draft.
d. Create a unique name for your comic and a good copy of your comic.
If you have trouble thinking of one, surf the Internet for suggestions or read other people's titles for inspiration.
Once you are satisfied with the drawings, go over them with black ink for a professional look. To colour the comic, you can scan it into the computer and digitally colour it. Otherwise, you can use special colour pencils or markers.
e. Show the comic to your family and friends and keep your comic in a safe place.
Ask them to read it and give you a critique. This will help you to gauge how funny and successful your comic is, which will guide your future comic- making.
Continue practising and creating new comics. You may consider publishing your works in the future.
