The strip ran for more than five decades until it was discontinued on October 1, 1988. For hands I usually just do mitten hands because hands are definitely not my specialty, but you can do it however you like! (Tip: When drawing hands always remember which way the thumbs go!) Finally, add detail! This is where you make your character specific to its self! In the pictures I will show some details you can do.Captain Easy, Soldier of Fortune: Volume One (Fantagraphics, 2010)Ĭaptain Easy, Soldier of Fortune is an American action/adventure comic strip created by Roy Crane that was syndicated by Newspaper Enterprise Association beginning on Sunday, July 30, 1933. There are multiple ways to do this as well, I will again picture them. (I know real specific, this is why I recommend you follow the pictures!) Draw the shoes. They should be longer than the body lines. Draw a straight line connecting the lines you just drew. For the body, draw lines down where the shoulders ended, these will form the arms, so don’t make them to long. Draw the ears right where the jaw lines where drawn. There are many ways to do this I will picture a few. (Tip: don’t draw them to high or tilted up it may make you character to tense, exclude this tip if that is what look you want your character to have.) Now, draw the ears. Draw the shoulders as a drawn out half moon shape coming from the neck. Draw a half crescent connecting the neck lines. (Follow the picture for a more clear view.) Then, draw two lines curved inward to form the neck. Draw a slanted line from the shorter lines to the center. Draw a line down the center of the circle. Draw little lines at the most outer point of the circle (as pictured). Next, draw a circle, this will eventually become a part of the head. IF YOUR CHARACTER IS NOT A HUMAN OR YOU ALREADY KNOW HOW TO DRAW A SIMPLE CARTOON HUMAN, PLEASE SKIP! Thank you! :) First, start with a clean price of paper and a pencil. You can change or modify it in any way or use a completely different approach. As I said, there are no limitations! Use your imagination! The possibilities are limitless!ĭISCLAIMER: Keep in mind this is just the way I draw my characters. This should help give you an idea of what your first story is about. What is their age? Likes? Dislikes? And possibly even what they are allergic to. (Tip: I would keep it somewhat short because the name will eventually have to fit in a thought bubble.) Fifth, what I like to do to start thinking of stories is figure out what they, as a character, are like. Third, start sketching! Draw your character (which I will teach you to do in the next step)! By now you should know what you want your character to look like and what your main focus is, now time to dive deeper! Fourth, their name! Decide on a good solid name for your character. Tall? Short? Skinny? Short hair? What is there gender? Male? Female? Or maybe even Non-binary? This is when you should focus on color as well, but since my comics are manly black and white, I don’t worry about it to much. Do you want your comics to tell a story, deliver a message, or just be plain old fun? Is this a one time character or a character you use over again? Is your comic going to be in black and white or color? What do you want the character to be like? Sarcastic? Funny? Or maybe stern? Your choice! Second, decide what you want the character to look like. There is no limits! I can, however, give you some guidelines for building your character. This step is very important! You have to do it or else there would not even be a comic! This requires an imagination! I can’t tell you what your characters should or shouldn’t be.
