Please note that this is ENTIRELY MY OWN PROCESS, and not the be-all-end-all on how to draw comic strips. I should also mention that I do it all traditionally, by hand, and make touch ups in photoshop when the need arises. I also letter by hand, and recommend it for people who want a more "home-grown" look for their comics.

MY MOST PRESSING/PERSONALLY SUCCESSFUL PIECE OF ADVICE HERE: hashing out the dialogue beforehand is the most helpful thing in the world and makes the process of drawing the actual strip a million times easier/faster.

I'm sorry my process isn't that interesting ;U

Definitely a great crash course on how to Sakana! I love this-its not too convoluted and shoot from the hip kinda tutorial. I see you include the actual word bubble in the final drawing instead of adding them after the fact in some digital editing program. What made you decide to go that route? Are there problems with this kinda comic if you wanted/needed to translate it into another language?

Thank you SO much for this! I haven't had the courage to try and put stories into comic form (because I can't figure out when you need to use different shape/size boxes in different situations) but your tutorial gave me a little motivation to try :3

I just learned more about setting up a successful comic strip in five minutes than I have in a month into private art school for comics.

GOOD WORK

I should let you know that this helped me quite a bit. I'm trying to write a fancomic and looking at this helped me make the process easier and smoother. Thanks for doing this!
