How to Plot a Comic From Start to Finish! 

I do this but I act my characters in my head, sometimes I also do this by whispering or humming while staring at my wall or ceiling xD

I totally do this. For more shy people, free-writing prose in the character's POV can be really good even when your goal is to make a comic. Helps you get in their head more.

I do that but I dont write it down after I just get into costume and into various characters in my room filled with mirrors, at times it gets emotional and I start crying.

I DO THAT TOO WITH MY CHARACTERS 😂😅😅

Glad to know I’m not crazy after all! Lol. I do this all the time, makes my writing a lot easier.

Lol

I am a elephant

TRRRROOOOOUUUMMMPPHH

But just a few

And stir the pot

hey I know ur comment is a bit old lol but I am curious, how is it going for you? :D

I hope it's going well! :D

holy crap . hope your doing well !!! :D

@Douglas I'm a teenager and I'm rlly afraid of the future. Everyone expects me to become a successful doctor or something like that. But I've always loved art. I'm afraid that I won't be happy....getting a job I don't like and living in a boring routine.

@@briee3802 I think it’s great for people to pursue their dream to be an artist! My advice is to plan a back up career so that you can support yourself while working to build up your art career

😂🖖🏼

Remembering me of myself so much :)

All I remember is bonne nuit, Paul. Help

Pluto The Planet same but Korean😖

Uni Mear - *bonjour mademoiselle/monsieur Uni Mear*

It seems to be based on a very famous concept called 'the hero's journey'. I learned this a while ago at university. It's very present in famous stories like Lord of the rings and many many game plots are based on it.

Interesting characters, but try to write down and flesh out them a bit more, the main problem i see is writing the story with such characters. I’m assuming that you plan to make a comic. Try asking yourself questions about the characters: Does it make sense for a mercenary to have more compassion than a detective? Would Vincent find it strange as a detective that his sister which i assume is under his watch that his sister always disappears before a murder? Does Wilson and Vincent’s relationship actually affect the story in an impactful way or is it romance for romance sake? What is Thea’s motivation for killing? How would the story end? How would the characters react to knowing the truth? You may want to also give characters well, character, like what are they like? How do they act around others? How do they speak? Physical appearance, habits or mannerisms may add a lot of charm to your character if done well. Just as importantly, i recommend reading books (yes, the standard boring ones) to spruce up your english and storytelling as there’s always more to learn. sure, writing comics have more visuals and less words so you can kinda cheat your way through, but if “too angry and scared” are your choice adjectives, you may want to read a bit more, so that you can not just only accurately convey a character’s emotion or personality, but add more spice to your story, play with words, there are people who may see english as a liability, but if you can see it as an asset, then you will be on your way to be writing marvelous stories.

@@isaaclim8290 Thanks for the advice! You're right in that I'm wanting to make this into a comic, as well as the fact that I desperately need to flesh them all out more. However, what I wrote here was just my most basic summaries of their characters - I have more planned for and about them. Still, I'll take what you said into consideration. I do read a lot, but it's mostly the dreaded fanfiction. Lord knows I should read more legitimate books. Thanks again! :D

BoredomIsAnUnderstatement No Problem! I’m glad i could help. If you have any difficulty thinking of aspects of characters, try using the myers briggs type indicator to help yourself to identify and fully understand your character. I find it extremely helpful in keeping my characters personality grounded and sometimes brings up an interesting aspect of them which i otherwise wouldn’t have realized. Im assuming you are still schooling, and if writing stories is something that you enjoy, if your school offers, i recommend taking up literature. (Don’t take my word for it. If you are keen, and its an option, google up the curriculum which your country offers and discuss about with your parents or a trusted adult.) Some of my favorite books are from my literature class. :P

That sounds amazing as a first concept, I'd read that but If I were you I would try to make the reader draw conclusions to who the killer is like introducing characters that are highly suspicious to take them by surprise!

Ohhh now i really want to see the terrible conflict the brother has in finding out that his sister was the killer all along! and the whole explaining her side of the story and what makes her tick and started all the killing in the first place! MUAHAHAHHAHA Hope you're able to executing it (lole get it ;) )and have fun doing so!

getting some life is strange vibes i like it

Thats a great idea ... maybe keep it secret haha

sounds like the anime Link Click

It does sound like life is strange, like when max and chloe try to find out what happened to rachael...but don't let that discourage you, as long as you make it your own you're good

lmaooo

Meru【める】 oo how is it going?

@@itsjuupiter The story is pretty good but drawing it takes looots of time, which is why i cannot draw it while studying :(

what is your webtoon called?

What's the name?

@@cabbageman2184 Hello! It’s still in development sadly haha 😂 But it’s a romance webtoon!

Oh I'd love to know what its called and where its published!

How did it go?

Hey, if you ended up going through with the idea, let us know. I’ll check it out.

How 'd it go?

Raven probably didn't do it

Lmao my protagonist's name is also dan

That sounds like a good idea, I might do this later. :)

I think there can be several climaxes. Your plot surely sounds interesting and more complex than some!

@@luigraskullheart Спасибо ^^

Yeah there's nothing inherently wrong with having more or even fewer than three acts. Three acts is a tried and tested formula but ultimately it's your creative choice :)

@@somethingclever5 Okay thanks :3

@@toohopeful160 Just remember that each format of storytelling likely needs to be handled a little differently. I recall, Jurassic Park 2 - Where I THOUGHT the movie was done . . . and then it turned out that the portion of the movie I had just watched was merely the first half. And then it continued for quite a while longer than I expected. I've still mixed feelings about that "mid-movie turn around". :-)

i would definitely read that

sounds amazing tbh, how's it going?

these videos are very helpful for me too cuz i'm a beginner aswell, i'm actually making my own comic on my channel, u wanna give it a watch?

Adina Denisa same here my story is about a werewolf that has his family murdered by another werewolf for being to kind and nice to humans, so only he and his baby brother survive the massacre and decide to move to the city and disguise themselves as humans, so the main character decides to go to school to learn more about the human world, but he also makes friends like Issac, Jessica, Bryce, Ahmir, Brian, Tommy, Maricio, Val, and of course he has a crush on a girl named Lizzie who has short blonde hair and blue eyes, not to mention almost all the boys have a crush on this girl and she has a boyfriend named Sammy who is the school bully, and regularly bullies Mario( the main character). So to try to be the best guy, he goes to his younger brother Kevin to help him be really impressive to catch his friends and Lizzie's attention and also to make Sammy jealous. But one day 7 of the High schoolers which are mentally disturbed decide to make a mass shooting at the school to gain fame as serial killers, so they attack the elementary school where Mario and the rest of the school are, during the shooting, Lizzie's boyfriend Sammy decides to murder Mario for being more famous than him, so he steals the teacher's box cutters and slices Mario's throat in front of Lizzie and Mario's friends and classmates. But since Mario was born a werewolf and is immune to silver, Mario stands up still bleeding and grabs Sammy on a chokehold and tells his best friend Alex to take away the box cutters before he hurts someone else. One of Mario's friends Bryce starts beating Sammy with a broken chair, but Mario intervenes and stops the beating, to which Bryce responds, "he just tried to murder you and you still let him live", to which Mario responds, " killing him won't make things any better, and he is a human being just like us", then Issac notices that the wound on Mario's neck has healed by itself and thinks he's panicking, then all of a sudden Joe one of the shooters breaks the door and starts shooting, killing Sammy and injuring Tommy and Bryce. As Joe is about to shoot Lizzie, Mario grabs the gun and wrestles him but Joe being taller and older defeats him and shoots Mario in the gut, Lizzie witnessing the apparent death of Mario starts crying, as Joe loads his next magazine to finish the kids off, Mario gets up and bites Joes neck, taking a piece off and lets Joe bleed to death. He rescues Lizzie and the others from the burning building, but still needs to take out the 6 remaining shooters, now with his injury healed, he takes the gun from Joe's corpse and goes to face the shooters himself, but his best friend Alex decides to go with him just in case. They locate Jordan, one of the shooters and strangle him with his own golden chain, Moe finds a dead Jordan and gets ready to shoot, but Alex slices his leg with the same box cutters that Sammy tried to murder Mario with, and then Mario shoots Moe in the head with Joe's gun. With only 4 of the shooters left, Mario decides to grab a grenade that Moe had around his chest and throws it at the remaining 4, but only kills Keion, the plan backfires getting Alex shot in the wrist, Mario decides to use Jordan's car to run over Julius, and hit Will. Will dies on impact and Malachi shoots Mario in the chest twice but again since he's a werewolf he heals and decides to claw Malachi's eyes out and lets him burn in the destroyed car. Then using his werewolf powers, he blows the fire out into nothingness, saving the survivors, but the damage was done, 26 died during the shooting including Even, a 7 year old to which Mario was mentoring and teaching to be a good kid so his parents could take him to see the beach, and also Lizzie moves to a different school, along with almost all his friends, leaving just Bryce and Maricio and his old friends in the school. Mario is devastated and can't help to have his other friends back, when he gets home his little brother Kevin comforts him to no avail, Mario then tells Kevin that having his friends away feels like the time his parents and whole family were murdered. Mario decides to take his own life but since his Werewolf powers heal him, he is left to cry in his pool of blood. If you want to hear the rest just comment back saying I want to jear the rest
