So i want to draw comics.

Where do i start? What are useful ressorcues to learn? What apps should i use? Are there special comic drawing apps or is any drawing app sufficient enough?

I have already an android tablet with a pen. I can also buy those graphic tablets for pc but my budget would be tight.

Hey hope I can help. I've personally never drawn on android but Krita is what I use on desktop and they do have an android app. Great tool I'd say.

As for starting out no matter what level you are in drawing getting used to a digital setup can be hard so I'd suggest the classic of "draw a fuck ton of circles, shit ton of triangles, holy load of rectangles and a butt ton of eggs. After that do it again but bend those boys up" method. After that go wild draw whatever and keep on drawing. Figure out what your greatest weaknesses are (or pick any weakness if like me they're all equally atrocious) and search up YouTube videos on fixing them

Now reading this you're asking about comics specifically. Sorry not going to be much help there. Hope you're able to find some good help though as I'd love to see more Lemmy comic artists
