How do you make your comic?

[Chronitis]

What I mean is how do you make your panels? Do you make one panel a whole entire page, or do you make multiple panels for one page?

In my comic, Penciled, I make my comics panel by panel so when I upload, I'm using multiple images. I know a lot of comics that only use 1 or 2 images when making their comics, though.

in my comic life inside the screen I use to draw one panel each time 800x800
but I start drawing one page of 800x1200 wich make it faster now

Multiple panels! This is a kinda old photo, but I draw all my panels on the same page like this.

I make a whole entire page of panel work. It's too much to do each panel as a separate individual piece, and then try to puzzle it all together. Let me just draw, ink, color, and letter everything at once on a page.

Multiple panels! I work in the traditional page-format, so I plan the entire page in one go. I usually do thumbnail-layouts for the entire chapter, just so I can keep the momentum going.

Would you believe that I sit down, grab a piece of paper, pencil, and a ruler and just start working on a page? Cause that's what I do. Unless its part of a story arc in which I do layout ideas for several pages, I actually do the panels and drawings as I go along.

Basically once an idea of what the comic is focus on pops into my head, I immediately start drawing and then close off panels with the ruler as I continue on.

After everything is penciled, then I use Sakura Micron pens of various tip sizes to ink the panels, characters, and anything else if there is anything.

Next, I scan the comic page at around 600 dpi in black and white, open the page in MS Paint (Yes, I know...shocking, isn't it?).

I then zoom in real close and fill in parts like characters eyes and if they have lips/lipstick, draw those in carefully with my mouse.

Zoom back out, and use my character color charts to then fill in everything else. Shrink the page down to the scale Tapastic allows, and use the rectangle symbol in MS Paint to fix the panel borders up and DONE!

I only use 1 panel maybe 2, I don't do the traditional page that is meant for book print.

It was kind of a challenge I wanted to do when starting this, I want it to be the most readable on the phone ( this is where I read most of the time ) and when a comic gets too much panel it becomes easely unreadable and messy ( and honestly I give up fast reading it )

So I want to make it readable and enjoyable.
The vertical panelling is quite interesting and allows breathing/waiting moment with the scroll.
I think the most important is to have the comic pleasing to the eye not only by the art but also by the panel's organisation.

Hope it helps !

I actually create my comic entirely on an iPad. I use Artstudio and Strip Designer to do the art and lettering. Since I use a consistent four panel format, the whole process moves along at a pretty good pace.

[TheRabbit]

I draw and ink on 2-3 A4 papers. If the page has a three row panel layout, then I use three A4 papers. If it's four rows, then I use two papers. When everything is inked, then I merge them in Clip Studio Paint and star colouring.

Multiple! I create my comics all digital. First I plan how much the episode will need panels, then I make frames and sketch everything. Here is a GIF of that process

I've been using iPad to create a high fidelity image. Programs are sketchclub for vector inking and font candy for the fonts. I like to keep it simple these days

I plan on producing a book out of my comics so the overall look of the page is really important. Everything needs to be balanced. If you're doing a vertical comic for phones it's a bit less obvious, but when I modify my pages to vertical, I do try to give a sense that all panels are tied together in some ways. Example a general background color or something. Case in point, you can compare: http://tfti.inkorpora.com/comic/bubblelicious/ on my site vs the vertical version on Tapastic here: https://tapastic.com/episode/530989
