Start with drawing simple things. Observe something in real life and try to translate it to paper. Try drawing new things everyday and if it doesn't look right fix it. Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect. Do this for years until you feel comfortable with your art.

Or if you don't want to work for it either do a stick figure comic or collaborate with someone who can draw.

1.- Get an artist
2.- Draw it yourself but make it surreal enough the shit art is a plus
3.- Become internet famous first so your doodles get the respect they don't deserve from your blind fanboys and established audiences.
4.- Go full ONE like a MAN (or lady)

There's lots of good things that come from people that can't draw, I mean if the plot is good do it, or commission some 23 year old on Tumblr to do the work for you.

>best advice pick up doodling like picking your nose or smoking buy a notebook or carry round a pencil

I do intend to start drawing to eventually be able to draw decently, but I'd also like to not wait 5-10 years to make the first page, so to speak.

>>83564594
start drawing now stupid
make the webcomic now stupid
your art will improve over time and it's okay because it's a webcomic and nobody has any sort of standards for a webcomic, stupid

>>83564594
It's up to you. There are a lot of webcomics where the art started out poor and evolved as time went by to be pretty good.

Personally I'm waiting until I'm happy with my art skills to start mine but that's also because I have little to no self confidence.

It depends on what genre you're going for. If you are hoping for something more plot based over humor just be wary that you might be mocked at first.

>>83564594
So gradually do it with your skill slowly evolving I mean mangas like Berserk and JoJo looking back at their previous quality it has drastically changed in detail, to today's standards

>>83564681
I mean it will be less mediocre to good art and more godawful to mediocre, but I get your points.

Fellow shitty artist here. It really is a thing of how much you're willing to put into it. I used to doodle in the sides of notebooks for years, but once I took an actual art class and started drawing on my own I got a lot better. Nobody starts out perfect, but you don't need to be perfect to make something good.

>>83564594
Half a year should be enough for you to develop a style that doesn't hurt readers eyes. Over time you can improve as you draw the comic

Just do it, maybe you'll get lucky and pick up the same obsessive, autistic fanbase that QC has on here

You could try using 3d stuff like Poser, Daz, or if you are feeling daring and have time to learn Blender. I have seen a lot of Porn comics using Daz and Poser.

>Want to make a comic involving a group of teenage friends
>Never had any friends so the only character I can accurately portray is the creepy kid who follows them from a distance

>>83568903
Make a story about the creepy kid trying ti make friends but keeps failing. But dint make it seem like the normal people are the bad guys. And add some self depreciated humor

As long as you don't name your comic after Eve-6 you'll be fine.

>>83568954
Dude watamote

>>83569054
What-awhat?

If you want to make a webcomic you don't have to know how to draw. If you want to make a comic yeah you do.

>>83569283
Manga that's pretty much EXACTLY what you described.
A social outcast girl who's an absolute fucking trainwreck tries to make friends but her perspective on social interaction is skewed by that schlock she consumes and her own shitty attitude.

>>83569423
I'm not the one that described it, but ok. That sounds pretty cool. Or the opposite of cool, but entertaining anyway.

>>83564408
Find an easy style you can do now that doesn't look terrible. Could be stick figures, could be just really simple designs. While making your webcomic, practice more serious art on the side until you are comfortable with a different, more involved style. Then start a new webcomic. Or transition your old one to the new style, if you feel like you can pull it off.

Like, the current art of QC is bad because it tries to be good but isn't. The first pages of QC aren't that bad, because they don't try to be more than they are. The beginning stuff isn't GOOD, but it isn't bad either - it isn't failing to be good. Try to quickly get to the point of the beginning of QC, and try to avoid eventually becoming modern QC.

Webcomics aren't known for their amazing art.
or story.
or schedule.
or anything really other than they're free and easy to get.
I mean the bar is set really low, I don't get how people think there is some entry hurdle to overcome to make a webcomic.

Your first page is going to be shit regardless. Don't make excuses and get started.

>>83574257
sounds hilarious.
Make it like abridged yugi oh with adults pointing out constantly how seriously they take a children's game.

They should go first to Drawing From the Left Side of the Brain first, imo.

Just to get them out of the mentality of "I can't draw".

Going straight to grinding loomins is asking to give up at the start.

>>83578515
>>83578364
Heard.

>>83580638

Drawing from the left side of the brain has a lot of pseudo science bullshit, don't drink that kool aid, the exercises will help though.

The traditional method is to make a sprite comic, or hire an artist.
