Advise for making a comic 2019-03-02 18:20:36


Hey, I'm looking for any artist on this site that can give me advice on Cartooning/Comics. I'm thinking about (although not so soon!) making a comic book and I want to know if there are specific things that I need to know before making one. Examples being, where can I kickstart it?, what software will I need for creating it?, will I need other artist's help on this?, what is your experience when kickstarting your comic, ect.

Regarding kickstarting, the two main platforms that come to mind are:


https://www.kickstarter.com/

https://www.indiegogo.com/


...personally I prefer the first one, as it just feels easier to use. Have helped back a few comics there myself.


Regarding those other questions however, maybe you'd get some more specific advice here: https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/forum/14


...this one is more for general questions related to the site itself.


Some general advice: a drawing tablet seems almost like a necessity these days, though some artists do manage without. If you have a really ambitious project going on it seems like a good idea with helpers, but that all depends on how much time you're willing to/can dedicate to this project, and as for software: there's so much available here I'm not sure what to recommend. I'll leave this the artists, though if you're looking to try some alternatives there's a good selection here: https://www.newgrounds.com/wiki/creator-resources


Hope that helps!
