What is your process in making your comic? :o I'm trying to make one myself and would like some tips!
Sure thing! I'm assuming you're talking about this one
Hope you're okay with a long answer
I'd say first, you figure out what is the most important goal for you, and base the process around it. Is it trying a new style? Focusing on backgrounds?
For me, there was two main technical things.
1. I wanted to make absolute sure that I WILL finish it.
2. I realized how much I missed having physical pieces of art.
(I also wanted to use the story to get a feel for writing these characters... but. that doesn't affect the process. not for me at least)
First, I have the story mostly mapped out in my head. It's not super long, it's more of an introduction to the world. So my "scripts" are really just dialogue and a thumbnail scribbled beside it. I'll plan maybe 5 pages and then immediately start drawing it. It's fast, and keeps me on my toes.
I sketch and ink everything on Bristol paper, except for the very first page. It took hours to do the inks for that one, which is when I realized that it was taking way too long and ultimately switched to paper. Infinite use of Ctrl+Z is not always a good thing.
I'm not clean whatsoever with my inking. Most people would be more careful, but I just use it as a way to ignore my mistakes and keep pushing forward.
(I do have a white paint marker for the big messes though.)
I scan the pages, and adjust the levels so it's purely black and white. I might also fix obvious mistakes here and there, but I'm not picky about it.
Then I color! I'm still figuring out what looks good. Though I really like having either monochromatic panels, or two complimentary colors directly opposing each other. I also overlay it with a grainy texture.
I use CSP for everything, and they have really good text tools, especially for comics. I like to color the text bubbles to match the color palette of the panels they're in. Just a personal preference.
I think that's it? But feel free to ask other questions if you're interested!
An actual honest to gosh Christian on tumblr. Never thought I'd see the day. Good for you. Good art :) 👍
YESSIR!
and thank you! I've been tossing around the idea of adapting a Bible story into animated/illustrated form... believe it or not there's a lot of intense stuff in that book XD. Especially when you start getting into the historical side of things.
It's so interesting
the tumblr humans have made contact with me...
So be on the lookout for one of my PnF posts being featured somewhere. Maybe an ad or smthn?...I think that's how that works? idk, it's kinda funny to think about, though
I LOVE your Maria survived AU and I was wondering if by any chance you knew of any fanfics about the idea? If not, does Maria love Bell and Sage like she loves Metal Sonic, Orbot and Cubot?
thanks!
I think i vaguely remember reading one or two... but I'm not sure which one, and I don't save the ones I've read XD
Maria loves all the little robots, and she's set up a guest room for them whenever they stay over. They play pictionary
I need you to know that I am obsessed with the way you draw Phineas and Ferb characters, especially the titular boys. Just, so good, so understanding of rambunctious but well meaning little boys. Also just love the way you translate their designs in general.
Aw thank you! I also became obsessed with my designs of the boys ;-; Purely accidental, I assure you.
I think I just like drawing kids being goofy little kids.
anyone else getting like, porn photos on their dash all of a sudden?
I've got all that stuff blocked and filtered... so whats up with that?
not what i wanted to see
