RECKLESS RIDING
Hello guys, greetings once again.
I remember saying I would be dropping my comic process in batches. If I’m to be frank, I wasn’t planning to do that from the start, but I guess someone might be interested in it later on. I’m not one who follows a regular pattern, and I tend to draw disorderly sometimes, so I won’t be talking or typing anything under each page’s GIF, which was supposed to be at the bottom of this page. (check the comment section of each cursed October episode for to see it's process GIFs)
Let me just give a simple tutorial on how I create my comics.
Have a story in mind or written down somewhere during the day. For cursed October, I created some on the spot and had some written. The written version can always be changed if what you drew doesn’t fit the writing.
script in image is for current inktober prompt "reckless"Start ibisPaint X and create a new page.
Do a rough sketch on the page; make a rough sketch of the panels too if needed.
Trace them on a new layer.
Add colours using the paint bucket, all on a new layer. You can also add a background layer so you'll be anle to add background effects separately
Blend, add shadows, lighting, highlights, and other graphic effects.
Add text and text effects on a new layer.
Add speech bubbles on a layer and make sure it’s behind the text layer. The premium version might help with speech bubbles, but I’m currently not using premium.
That’s the process. For this post, I specially created this two-panel comic for you to see, but I don’t follow that order all the time just as I previously stated— you can see for yourself in the timelapse of Cursed October.(Check the comment section of each chapter if you're interested)

Thanks for reading
Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.
The process sounds easier said than done. Especially layers.
Ik downloaded the app, had a quick look and thought: this is not for me.
😂 I see.
I also didn’t get used to it in a day (I was criticizing phone drawing apps then, because it was when I had just parted with my laptop too 😂).
You’re already pretty good at something else, plus it wasn’t long ago that I saw you begin painting. Don’t feel pressured by my writing, Your Highness—just do what you’re passionate about.
It won’t be long before you begin hyper-realistic paintings even with a brush, hehe.
(There’s an easier way other than using Ibis to make comics though. As long as you can manually draw or paint mini drawings and they can stand out without needing to be painted digitally. That’s if you’re interested in going into the comic line, but it’s better to challenge yourself in painting. Who knows how many more remarkable masterpieces you'll create)
There’s a famous German hacker: Sascha Lobo...
A reference for your character? ;-))
