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 have a couple things templated, like a vertical page that fits on a phone screen with a few panels already outlined. Otherwise it's from scratch.

Templates are boring anyway. Part of the fun of comics is using different shapes, sizes, and positions for panels/bubbles in ways that help tell a story.

On that note I must also plug Scott McCloud's books, they really helped me see all the tools at my disposal.
