Introduction: How to Make a Webcomic

About: hello

Hello, Have you ever wished to create a comic online (or webcomic). In this instructable I will tell you how to create it.

Step 1: Find a Webcomic Hoster

The host is a website that will store your comic's images and display them when readers visit the website.

  • Search with your favourite search engine for 'online comic host' or 'free online comic hosting'.many free online hosts are available

In my opinion comicfurry is the best free webcomic hoster site . I am also using it . Sign in make and make a new webcomic site

Step 2: Register With the Host Website

Create an account, and note your password. Bookmark your host website's address.

  • Some websites will host your comics for a fee.
  • If you can afford it, you can contact a web design company and hire them to make you an online comic website.


Step 3: Check Your Host's Image Specifications

The host website will tell you the largest file size it will accept, and how much space you can use altogether. This is important as each page of your comic will be uploaded to the host website as an image file, and you don't want to exceed this maximum size when you create each image. Also the more images you upload, the more space you will use up. If you exceed these limits, you may find you can't upload your last page, and your readers will be stuck wondering how it ends!

Step 4: Write Your Story

To make a comic you need a story write a story or script and write dialogs of your characters . And also draw your characters .

Step 5: Create Image Files From Your Comic Page Artwork

Most online comics display one page at a time. Some display two pages side by side (like an open book) but this can affect how your story flows. Plan your pages with this in mind. Ex. you may have to re-design your 2-page spread if your online comic will only display one page at a time. You may have to review and possibly re-do some of your comic pages if you have drawn them already.

  • If your comic pages are drawn on paper, scan each page and save it as an image file e.g. files with extension .jpg, .png, .bmp.
  • Do not make it bigger than the maximum file size allowed by your host! Larger files will save more details and your comic page will look cleaner, but too large may exceed your limit.


Step 6: Put All the Images of Your Comic Into One Folder on Your Computer

label them with the comic book name and the page number in each image's file name. this makes it easier to find each page when you're uploading the images to your host.

Step 7: Upload Your Images

Connect to the internet and go to your comic host's website.

  • Log in to your account, and click on the option to 'upload files'. * * Browse your computer to the folder you saved all your image files in, and select your first page.
  • Upload the image file and repeat for second page, third page, and each following page in the order you want them to appear.


Step 8: Write a Short Description of Your Comic

This description or summary of your comic will be seen by readers who may be browsing. Use lots of keywords that describe your comic:

  • The genre (like action, comedy, drama,shounen, shoujo),
  • Two or three lines that describe the main storyline (e.g. five teenagers gain super powers when they are struck by lightning, and must now defend the earth from an alien rampaging warlord...)
  • Try to make the summary short but interesting, it should get anyone reading it interested enough to read your comic.


Step 9: Preview Your Comic As a Reader.

The online comic host will provide you with a link to your comic website when your register and create an account. Type this link into your browser bar, and take a look at your comic This is how your readers will see it

Step 10: Invite Readers to View Your Online Comic!

  • Copy the link to your online comic and paste the link into an email, and send the email to your friends.
  • Paste the link into your Facebook status, where your friends can see it, or send them e-invitations.
  • If you have printed business cards, you can add your link to the cards.
