hehe just hoping tom will probably see this

Im trying for a web comic of my own. do you make a basic plan and then the rest you just make as you think them up or do you have every comic planned in an order for this?

I can answer that. Every cartoonist has a different method. I, personally, make comics at random, without any for-thought. Others, however, do it differently.

well thank you ^^

what is your comic may I see?

Im trying to ask tom if I can make a guest comic but he never responded to the E-mail -_- oh well know hes busy

the scanner I have access to isn't working, so it won't be up for a while.

However, You can see a filler that I made here

I would absolutely take out a few sheets of paper, and just start writing down the general story flow. Don't bother designing the layout for each page yet, just know what your characters are going to be doing at any given time. The last thing you want is to catch yourself running away with one plot element, while completely forgetting the greater story.

hehe yeah I tend to do that alot

its hard wrighting my books

For me....I thik to make a good comic is to have 2 storylines going....Like one boys story and one girls and they meet and then its a whole storyline.

And don't forget Backstory!
-Quoteth SI, queen of the Backstory

No, really, Backstory and flashbacks can be a very good plot element sometimes. Especially if you are stuck in a story arc, just start fleshing out the Backstory of a character, and soon, you'll have a new story arc.

thanks you two

I actually got three comics planned Im going to make a few previews of something in the middle of the storys for each one to see what people like most and I will go mainly to that one

then your all set!

Yay but I wish my art was better *sigh* but hey still worth a shot

yes yes.....that happens to me too

A good story can sometimes make up for bad art. Seriously, it does.

I'd say most of the time. Great art and bad storytelling won't keep anyone interested for long.

heck yeah. Long before I could draw well, I knew that. And I still go by it.
