Comic strips(连环漫画) are popular cartoons found in newspapers and magazines around the world. If you can think up funny dialogues, you are well on your way to becoming a successful comic strip writer. If you're also good at drawing, it will be much better!
Develop your characters(角色). Develop your characters and practise drawing them in different situations. Make sure that each has its personality, so that it's easy to tell who is who.
Make a quick sketch(素描) of your strip. When you have decided what is going to happen, work out how many panels you will need, and exactly what will be described in each panel. Stop in where the text will go, and what the characters will be doing. Use a ruler and a pencil to draw the squares. Use the pencil to draw in your images. Draw the speech bubbles, characters and any background of the scenes. Correct until you are pleased with your drawings.
Add the text. Many cartoonists just do this with a pen, but you might want to start with a pencil until you feel confident in your lettering abilities(能力).Make sure your text is very easy to read.
Ink (给……上墨) over the final lines of your squares, text and images. Be careful not to use the wet ink. When the ink is completely dry, run an eraser over your comic to clean up the paper and remove any remaining pencil marks.
