  • Keep your story simple. When you’re first starting out, it’s best to keep your story simple. This will make it easier to follow and draw.
  • Use clear and concise dialogue. Your dialogue should be easy to understand and should move the story along. Avoid using too much jargon or technical terms.
  • Use effective sound effects. Sound effects can help to bring your comic to life and add excitement. However, don’t overdo it! Too many sound effects can be distracting.
  • Take your time. Creating a comic takes time and effort. Don’t expect to finish your comic overnight. Just keep working at it and you’ll eventually reach your goal.

With a little planning and effort, you can create your own comic that you’ll be proud of. So what are you waiting for? Get started today!
