“My First Comic Strip”
I’ve just started learning how to make a comic strip. I’ve come up with of two original characters. They are Lymie and Blubie. They are sisters. Lymie is the youngest and Blubie is the eldest. I named the youngest Lymie, because she wears a lime green dress. And the eldest is Blubie, because she wears a blue outfit.
After deciding the characters and the theme, next is learning how to
make the lay out and paneling. Usually a comic strip has four panels (Squares). My first comic strip is about an introduction to Lymie and Blubie three panels.
Let’s dive in a little bit further about the five basic rules in making a comic.
- Lay out. (Paneling) from small and big panels.
- Points of reading
- Balloon Text.
- Timing
- Typography
There are many examples of comic strips, such famous American ones are Peanuts, Archie and Garfield.
