Get a piece of paper and think about who or what your cartoon is going to be about (it could be you). When you have figured that out, you may want to write that as the title of your cartoon. Perhaps your main character is going to be an animal.

Draw a box with the props, setting, characters etc. of the story. If you want your characters to talk, draw a circle with a curved triangle pointing out of the circle, directed to the character that is talking. If you want them to be thinking, draw two or three little clouds coming from them with the last (top) cloud being large enough for what you are writing. An even better method is to write the text that will be in the thought bubble or speech box before drawing the box or bubble itself. This way, there is no way you can make the bubble too small.

You may need to use more boxes called panels to tell your story/cartoon. Cartoons are usually funny, so try to make your cartoon have at least one joke.

Step 1: Get a sharpened pencil and a piece of white paper.(Lined paper will work too)

Step 2: Lay out your cells (boxes) in a format that you think would be best for your kind of comic. (sideways comic or vertical)

Step 3: Draw out your pictures lightly so you can erase if you make a mistake.

Step 4: When you have the pictures that you like, outline them with a thin marker or just press really hard with a pencil.

Step 5: You’re almost done! Now just color it in and you have yourself a comic.

Step 6 (optional): If you want to make a comic BOOK then just do steps 1-5 and when you are done with the pages of the book, you can make a cover.

A comic strip is a sequence of drawings arranged in interrelated panels to display brief humor or form a narrative, often serialized, with text in balloons and captions
