Hello! Thanks for such kind words, I really appreciate it 💗💗💗As for the ask thing - lucky you, I specifically make only traditional comics because digital art allways was a bit hard to me ""x3
Honestly when people ask me on "how to get started with a comic" I allways feel nervous because...welll......I literally started the first issue of my AU comic Reincarnationtale with making some random sketches and being like "this is in chronological order yea...i guess i'll make a comic out of this...yea". AAAAND THEN ONE YEAR LATER I DID A REMAKE OF THE ENTIRE THING...In fact, I did remakes of all the first three issues and currently doing a remake of the fourth one! So yup, I guess I have zero capability on speaking about how to properly start a comic :"")
BUT! Now, I have more experience in this stuff, so I can say that - WOW, starting with a proper script is VERY helpful! Since issue eight I've been writing a script for each page, describing what happens on each frame and who says what. It really helps understand beforehand what you want to fit onto the page and helps organising the whole comic itself! Then, after I make a bunch of scripts, I can start working on the pages themselves - and for this, I make...whatever THIS is:
Basically I just make small sketches of how I think the framework on the pages will look like. Sometimes the final thing can vary from those concepts, but still, it helps you realise what exactly you want your pages to look like (all of these were made for the recently published issue nine btw)
I can't really give and advice on the sketching part because uhhh....you just draw the characters you want however you want in your art style???? I dunno, everyone has a different style so yeah, no advice on that one, I guess it's preference 👉👈
And, the last thing I'll say (again, not an advice, it's preferably to each and everyone to draw however you want) - these are the things I usually use for my comics! I like making lineart with 0.1 mm liners, using 0.5 and 0.7 as highlighters. Also, I like adding a bit of colour into my lineart...I dunno, it just looks pretty. You can't see it on the picture, but, for the colouring I usually use Berlingo / PrismaColor / BOTH OF THEM pencils!
