I was asked yesterday… “Is it difficult to learn how to make comics?”
My answer:
1- Cartoons are basic shapes: The head of a character is made from (a circle, square, triangle, rectangle etc.)
2-The materials needed are simple: Pencil, Paper, Ruler, Sharpie, Set of Markers
3-Look at the masters: Winsor McCay, Chris Ware, Jillian Tamaki, Gabrielle Bell…are some of my favorites
4-Draw from life: draw what you see: people, nature, architecture
5-Make an artwork a day: cartooning like anything else takes practice
6-Have Fun: the more you draw what you enjoy, the more you learn
