First comes an idea. Generally I get these from conversations I've had with friends or me simply me going 'give me a subject!'. This particular one is based off a discussion I had with one of my friends:
1) Idea: hot Spock.
2.) really craptacular rough sketch in my notebook
3.) Make panels, 6 in this case, and sketch out what each panel will look like:
4.) Draw in pencil drawings of the characters and such, I'm all about mechanical pencils for cartooning because i usually do a lot of little details which needs a constantly sharp point and sharpening every 30 seconds is a pain :
5.) Ink the pencil drawings. I use drawing pens in most cases unless I'm doing something bigger or with a lot of dark space:
6) Erase all the pencil lines and fix up any details and such:
7.) This is the part where I scan each panel individually and color them. Then when they are colored I put it back together, it's just easier that way to me and then i can fix up my inability to draw my panels evenly. heh. I use Photoshop for this. And a mouse because I don't own a tablet because I am a poor kid. Though I don't feel like explaining here step by step how i do it. Lets just say lots of layers are involved.
Anywho it eventually comes out like this:
Ta-da!Yep that's how I do that, exciting aye? I might start putting these comics up here every week or whatnot, since I make a ton of them. Hope this was interesting-ish to someone out there. :)
