- Use clear and concise dialogue. Your dialogue should be easy to understand and should move the story along. Avoid using too much jargon or technical terms.
- Use effective sound effects. Sound effects can help to bring your comic to life and add excitement. However, don’t overdo it! Too many sound effects can be distracting.
- Take your time. Creating a comic takes time and effort. Don’t expect to finish your comic overnight. Just keep working at it and you’ll eventually reach your goal.
