Write down the basics. A comic is, in essence, a narrative narrated through successive images, called frames or panels. Even single-frame comics should have the sensation of moving forward. That way, a comic is not much different from other story forms, and follows certain rules.
• Background. A story set somewhere. Even if it's basically just plain white, it's still a background. Background is the basis of your character movements, and depending on your story can be a complementary part of the narrative.
•Character. You need a character for your story. Your character moves action, talks about dialogue, and they build relationships with readers. Develop characters with time; this is especially important for comics that make up long narratives.
•Conflict. Each story needs a conflict to push it. This can be the basis of the story, the reason of what your character does. It can be as simple as checking a mailbox or as complicated as saving the universe.
•Themes. The theme of your comics is what drives creation every day. Your theme will also specify the reader. If you write comedy comedy, how is the joke going? If you write a romantic story, what lessons can be learned?
•Tone. This is the atmosphere in your comics. Are you writing a comedy? Is your story closer to drama? Maybe you intend to make a political cartoon. The possibilities are endless. Combine comedy with drama, create dark, or light stories. Write a romantic story, or a scary political thriller.
1. Your tone will be expressed through dialogue, narrative text, and visuals.
2. Write about what you know. One way to make your comics feel realistic is to write what you know. It will also help you master the writing, and prevent you from copying other comics.
3. Define style. Since you create comics, your visual style will be the first aspect that readers encounter. Choose a style that matches your tone and your story as well as the picture in your mind.
• Drama usually requires a more detailed visual style than comedy. However, there are some exceptions, as well as all the rules when creating something.
4. Choose a format. There is no provision for defining the format, but comics usually fall into 3 categories: Single frame, Strip, and Page length (book of koik). Try different formats until you find what suits your story, character, and background.
I have completed 1 comic for my friend stemian all smoga with the example I give can make friends all understand in making comic
The example I made here is a comic strip
•Comic strip is a sequence of frames. There is no specific length of length for a strip, although most consist of one or two lines each of which has 2-4 frames. This is one of the most popular formats for most web comics and jokes, as it allows for narrative development but is still short enough to be routinely produced.
Let's look at the comic content that I have prepared below:

Not too difficult to emulate is not it? When the comic is finished, ask friends to read it to give an opinion or input. Or the comics can be loaded on sites like deviantart to get feedback from others. It can help develop the ability to create comics that can become a professional comic artist. Good luck!
