DerrickM:
You'll have to improve a great deal on that if you want to create comics. Study of human anatomy & animals is compulsory & non-negotiable on drawing well. Manga Studio Pro isn't free but you can get Inkscape & try it out. If you are in Lagos best you get to Computer Village.

Get inspired by Naija comics:

Well there is nothing u can't get for free on the internet . just need the link to it

Well I guess so but as if you have an Autodesk account you can get SketchBook Pro for free even on Google Play for android or Ipads.

Lol*To an extent yeah but believe me when I say,there are many exceptions to that rule in terms of apps. You won't find them on the site where you can get others there so easily for real.

Fastest way,open Google & place in the search tab "Manga Studio Pro+free download" I think that will help you asap.

Pencilled Character

Inking.. ..second stage

Finally coloured...

Pretty easy huh

Cool process breakdown 1 post could have it all but thanks for the single posts*lol*hahaha*About your being banned so was I for posting here or another thread of mine 5-8th this month. Can you imagine,kilode?!!Good thing am active in other sectors. I love this spidey-burglar looking character. Just would have preferred a lighter backdrop not to hide your shadow shading...Good stuff...be @ComicCon this year...

DerrickM:
Comics & their creation started from the following times:

*Prehistoric era of cavemen drawing their stories on the cave walls
*Egyptian heiroglyphics to tell stories of the ascent or descent of gods amongst them
*To the birth of Marvel & DC comics which has set the standard for comic making globally even both respectively owning their own styles of comic script writing.
*Thanks to technology with access to the internet and Lagos ComicCon. The Nigerian Comic Scene is bubbling with the likes of Comic Republic,The Vortex,YouNeek Studios,ShadowBlack,Real Fiction comics to mention a few.

This thread is dedicated to the making of comics,tools for drawing & publishing all the way to how to market them profitably.

Fill free to ask questions & contribute because it promises to be insightful & interesting.

Don't get what you're saying @all,bro.

you said the egyptian heiroglyphs were used to tell the story of the ascent and descent of egyptian gods and by that i take it you have deciphered the heiroglyphs and know what it all means. tell me about it. how did you know what the story the heiroglyphs were telling ?

Dude,I don't need to have translated it myself. Seriously?!!*lmao*lol*It isn't me you will kill with that task. Archaeologists have made most of their research available online. It's somewhat general knowledge about the Egyptians fascination with their gods & spiritual objects from books,animation & popular movies. On the walls of their pyramids & several architectural masterpieces also used heiroglyphs & motifs. Naturally mankind is a storyteller & that's why I was giving the history of how comics came about. I learnt the tips from an online course I finished on "Lettering Comics".

yeah but the interpretation of all the egyptologists is fake. they are assigning modern day alphabets to each glyph which is ridiculous so i wouldnt trust what the ' scientists ' say. like there is a huge debate about how to interpret the hieroglyphs or on whether it has been interpreted etc etc

Bro,you are the one taking this matter to a place i didn't talk about that. Am keeping to the part about telling stories with pictures & that's all. There are lots of things that aren't true but have been accepted. It is not for me to debate & neither is this thread dedicated to that argument but thanks for your contribution so far.

Oga DerrickM nice work, please let's stay on topic Oga Derrick any update on how we can improve our comic skills?
Was reading up some articles on animating nonanimated characters... Really nice.

The only way to improve is to draw,draw,draw & practice daily or frequently. Read books, watch cartoons,play games & watch as much video tutorials as you can. Hope that helps Dokita Oluya...
