Introduction to Digital Comic

Introduction to the comic in digital support, from creation to publication

“Dear cartoonist, we have reached the end of the course and you already have some tools that will help you tell your story in comic format. The comic is a universal art and you can reach many readers if what you are interested in counts. It is also a long-distance art. Focus on making the best comic possible, but keep in mind that the next one will be better. Try to enjoy the process and that will be noticed in the result. You have to carry out that one-to-four-page story to read digitally that can be the seed for something much more ambitious. Upload it to your Domestika portfolio when you have it ready, but also think about giving it life on the internet, on social networks, your blog, or the platform you choose. Especially works the script and planning. Do not become obsessed with the quality of the drawing. Being a great cartoonist is not the same as being a great cartoonist and, many times, modest cartoonists succeed because they are great storytellers. Try, however, that the drawing accompanies the reading and is always at your service. Remember, even if I have faced the drawing in analog (I always appreciate being away from the screen for a while), you can choose to do the whole process in digital, as many artists do today. You have a lot of possibilities and a pioneer job in your hands. Although we have been in the digital age for a long time, there is much to discover in terms of graphic narrative. See you for Domestika. I really want to read your work. I will be pending and will accompany you throughout the process, but please excuse me if it takes me a couple of days to respond, sometimes the delivery dates do not forgive! Take this as a workshop, as a shared study. We can all comment and give advice. This course has been an opportunity for me to put my work process in writing (which works, like everything else in the creative world, much more based on intuitions than on formulas) and I hope that many more lessons will arise when putting everything in common. Thank you very much, I return to the drawing board! ”
