10 Step Guide To Creating A Comic Strip

• Visit the Comicbrush website and create an account.
• Login to your account, click the link near the top titled ‘Art Packs’. Browse thru the different genres and click ‘Add To My Library’ on all packs available.
• Press the link titled ‘Draw’ and then press the link titled ‘Create A comic’.
• Decide on a title for your comic and choose the size + layout that you want to use.
• Click a ‘genre’ in your library, click the box in your strip where you want your object/background or speech bubble.
• Click the object/background or speech bubble to use and it appears in the box, then simply resize as required.
• Repeat the previous 2 steps until your comic book strip is done.
• Then press the orange ‘Save’ button near the bottom right side. You are done!
• Visit your gallery and choose the option so your comic is publicly on display.
• Then save your newly released comic strip to your PC and publish it on the web where you want to!

Usage Tips

• Let your creative juices flow before creating your comic book strip. Create a thought cloud, write ideas & thoughts on paper first. Otherwise if you just try and create one straight off you will be short of good ideas.
• Upload your own graphics when you can. The volume of free stock images available is very limited (at time of publishing). So find some decent clipart images, backgrounds, photographs etc that you need, then upload them to ComicBrush and use.
• Keep improving your creations, it is impossible to get your designs absolutely perfect first time. Keep tweaking, moving bits, trying different pics and wording and you will eventually create quality pieces of work, even if you aren’t naturally artistic.
• And remember - save your work!

Publish Your Creations

You could just create comic strips for fun for friends and family, then you could print them off. If you want to publish them on the web you could do it on your own site or weblog, this is good unique content. Alternatively you could publish them on social networks and web forums. If you have a funny gadget related comic strip you can submit it to this tech blog where the best ones will get published.
