So let’s say you’re going to make a comic: what do you need to know before you get started?
For those of you who have finely tuned art skills, you can always consider using the same digital drawing tools professional comic artists use. Photoshop is a particularly popular choice, and might be something you already own. If you don’t already have Photoshop and need something that’s a bit more budget-friendly, then you may want to consider Manga Studio instead. Unlike Photoshop, it’s a niche product that focuses specifically on creating comics. If that’s all you need, though, it’s perfect. Plus, it’s substantially cheaper than Photoshop. A standard copy retails for $80, but it’s reasonably easy to find on sale (currently it’s about $48).

4th lesson of comics: This medium is way more flexible than you might have initially thought.
So that’s our quick look at comics for learning. Before we move on to questions I’d just like to note that I’ve created a webpage with a bunch of additional resources for you to use. It includes links to the comics, websites, and services I discussed in this presentation, plus a few others I thought you’d enjoy. It also includes this slide deck and my speakers notes.
