Get a website. The best websites for comics seem to be free blogs such as Wordpress or Blogger or websites that are designed for comics such as drunkduck.com, smackjeeves.com and keenspot.com. You have to weigh the pros and cons of each platform. With blog sites, you have the ability to consolidate different projects that you have into one neat package. However, you may have to deal with HTML and CSS coding that could mess up the website's design. With a comic hosting site, you have ease of use and customization, however, you have to be a part of a network of comics that people have to wade through to get to yours. You can build up attention while you're working on your comment. Try to put yourself out there and generate excitement.
Design your characters and your story. For some people it's easier to come up with characters first before coming up with the story. For others, it may be easier to come up with the story first, then the characters. Whatever your preference is, make sure that you make the story very interesting and entertaining and make your characters easy to relate to and real. Your story doesn't necessarily have to be original, but your characters have to feel real. If you can create characters that are flawed, interesting, original, and entertaining, you can give an added dimension to a story that may not be original.
Draw your characters and your world. This is the place where you draw your characters, draw your locations and settings. This is where you can practice your art skills. Depending on your audience, they may be willing to forgive artwork in lieu of a good story and interesting characters. However, don't take this as a sign to draw halfheartedly. If readers can see considerable effort and passion in artwork, they may be willing to stick around and read while your artwork gets better.
Create a script. What are your characters going to say? What are they going to do? What is the setting? It doesn't have to be perfect, but you want an idea of how the story is going to progress and what dialogue and actions are best going to tell that story.
Create a storyboard. A storyboard is just a rough idea of how the comic is going to be set up. This is where you draw rough sketches of characters and their positions within the comic panels and where the comic bubbles will be placed.
Draw your comic. You can do this digitally or on regular paper, then scan it.
For traditionally drawn comics: If you plan on editing digitally, draw in a light pencil or even in a color such as blue or red. When you begin to ink, you can use your editing software to get rid of the background colors and it's much easier when the colors are something other than black.
Edit your comic. Did you mess up on the perspective? Did you draw a hand backwards? This is the place where you edit it. You can edit this digitally or by traditional methods.
Ink your comic. Using a high quality fine tip marker, go over your lines and darken areas and shade in shadows and backgrounds. The more detail you put into this, the higher quality comic paper you will have.
If you are using traditional methods, make sure that your comic is absolutely the best. If you aren't planning on digitally editing your comic page, make sure everything is perfect because there is no turning back after this point. If you mess up, you can use white out, but it may mess up the quality of the page.
Scan your comic and upload it your website!
