Drawing tips for comics
- Draw lightly first. You can go over the lines you like with a darker pencil or a pen at the end.
- Big shapes first, little details last: body, then eyes, then the smile.
- Wobbly is fine! Comic characters look friendlier when they aren't perfect.
- Change one thing and make it yours: a hat, a cape, a different smile, a book in their hand.
- Once you can draw a friend, draw them three times in a row with three faces, and you've made a comic strip.
Every friend here is also in the Comic Studio, where you can draw a comic on the screen and give them something to say. These are Peabody's own characters, drawn in Peabody's own simple style.
