Thinking of comic characters is really difficult if you're the type who just wants to draw. But don't worry, because you don't have to make the most detailed comic character ever, you can just do it in a simple way that people can like! It can be as simple as a human's head - in a spiders body! Or maybe a random character who that always has his face blocked by something! You just have to let your imagination run wild, and come up with the strangest or coolest characters.

Community Q&A
- QuestionWhat do I do if I don't have a rubber?
CasMangaArtCommunity AnswerBlu-tac is a surprisingly good substitute for an eraser. - QuestionHow do I draw like a pro?
Community AnswerDrawing like a pro takes practice, patience, time, and study of art principles such as shading, proportion and perspective. You'll need to continue drawing, and you will get better over time. - QuestionWill anyone will like my character?
Community AnswerIt doesn't matter what others think as long as you love how it looks. Having other people like it is just a bonus.
Tips
- Did you see how the feet was drawn? It's not like the way kids draw it, side on! It's drawn at an angle for you to see and know that it points towards you, keep note of that when drawing characters.Thanks
- Now that you know how to draw a simple character, make different features so that it's a different character, so for example: one with a really wide brim hat, maybe a dress with two yellow flowers on the side - or maybe one with black sunglasses, a beard and a mohawk.Thanks
Warnings
- Okay, just make sure you don't try to make this stuff your own, like you started all this, because it takes money to copyright something, so to be on the safe side, just share it.Thanks
Things You'll Need
- Pencil
- Eraser
- Paper
