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.

I never progressed beyond the complete beginner level. I also have an Android tablet with a stylus. I always looked Artflow app.

I tried learning in the tablet and never progressed much. Realised that fundamentals have to be learnt with pen and paper. If you don't get good without tech assisted tools, then you'll never be all that good. Although I do like scanning in the line drawing and then inking and colouring on the tablet.

Do you scan with a traditional scanner or just use the tablet or phone's camera?

I have a scanner.

Phone camera works well enough for a hobbyist like me, but if you want it to be good quality to publish then you should use a scanner (they're stupidly cheap secondhand).

If you're a complete beginner with drawing then DrawABox lessons helped me a lot and I would highly recommend these.
