Comic books have been a popular form of reading entertainment for centuries. Superman, Spiderman, Donald Duck and Archie have been the inspiration for many young kids to pursue their own careers in creating comic books. Today, with the Internet, it's possible for you to create your own custom comic books online, free of charge, whenever the inspiration strikes.
Instructions
1. Locate a web-based comic book creation website. There are a few available. StripCreator is one of the easiest to use and it's completely free (see "Resources"). With StripCreator, you can create complete, professional comics online and share them with visitors to the website.
2. Visit StripCreator and sign up for your free account, then choose "Make a Comic." You'll be presented with three default comic panels and an array of choices you can make to begin customizing your comic. Choose characters, background, props, dialogue and narration until your comic looks the way you want it to look. There's even a clone feature so you can clone panels you'll be using again.
3. Select a category for your comic, then give it a title and save it. You will be able to view your finished comic anytime you like. Others will be able to view and comment on your finished comic.
4. Visit Sketchdog and sign up for a free account to create complex comics (see "Resources"). Sketchdog works quite a bit like StripCreator, but with SketchDog, you're able to upload custom graphics and comics you've already created. Sketchdog also has web-based drawing tools that allows you to draw your own original characters for your comic strips, so the possibilities are less limited.
