Do you have some tips to write a comic book?

HOW TO WRITE A COMIC QUICKLY 1. Brainstorm and think of a plot for your story. Don't make it too intricate, as you want to be able to make it quickly. 2. Once you have a solid idea thought out, flesh it out with characters. Make sure the characters are well adapted to their situation and that the details of the characters won't become difficult to manage in the context of the story later on. 3. Test out your characters in a specially created short story. Don't bother drawing it yet. 4. Work out a drawing style that you can continue to draw in for a long period, but that you like and that fits your story. Draw practice pages of random stories and people. 5. Draw out a short comic of your test story. Then see what you could do to make it better, and redraw it. 6. Now work on the final story and plot. Make sure it makes sense and that it, like the test story, fits the characters. Or expand upon your test story and mould that into the final plot/story. 7. Start drawing. Don't be hesitant to completely redo pages. 8. When you're done, you may want to ink and/or color your comic. 9. If you feel like it, you could promote your comic and try to sell it to a publisher. But if you do, don't expect the going to be easy. Tips

· Collaborating with someone can help the process go faster and smoother. · Publishing your work on the web can have a lot of competition but it's the easiest and cheapest way to 'publish' your comic. · Ask friends, family, anybody, about flaws in your comic or things that should be added. Make sure you also ask what is good about it, and make sure those elements are strong in the comic. Ask many people, because answers are likely to vary. · One quick drawing style is to use "stick figures". You could just use them initially to get down your ideas. If you want to keep with stick figures, make sure that they are unique and interesting in the way that you portray them. Warnings

· Have the right motives. Don't try to write comics because you think it is a way to make some money or get recognition. If that is your reason for writing comics you will most likely end up disappointed and discouraged.
