6 simple ways to make your comics better!
6 simple ways to make your comics better!
Note: These are all suggestions! If you choose not to do the following that's perfectly fine with me
One
I c wat u meen
I see what you mean
Cut out the text talk. It makes it harder to read for everyone and it makes you seem like you can't use proper spelling. Use it only in proper context.
On that note, also check your spelling and punctuation.
two
hi, my name
is Jikar

is Jikar
add some motion and emotion
to your characters! One of the
simplest things that people overlook.
adding motion and emotion to your
characters not only makes them look
like they're actually doing something,
but it adds interest and depth to the
comic.
three
You don't need to number the text bubbles so people know where the dialog goes. It's distracting. Instead, put the speach bubbles in order based on hight on the panel.

Thank you so much!
August 10th
Thnaks for the tips. I didn't really need this, since I downloaded Flash and don't really use this to make comics that much anymore, but it was helpful. The only aggrivating thig for me is when you highlight a character and move certain body parts, it doesn't move in front or behind only that part, but the body as a whole. This is frustrating whenever I try to put things in character's hands. If this can be fixed, could ya help me out? Thanks.

There are a few good reasons mayson22222222. 1 - Comics aren't just about being funny... A large number of comics on this site are actually serious comics. 2 - I felt like being helpful towards others, and if you've got a problem with that then I'm just not even going to bother.
