The later you queue it for, the funnier it gets
Elon Musk and Hank Green were having an argument over how Elon Musk is burying Twitter and then this guy cut in:
Update on this:
For arguing with him, Hank Green isn’t verified ;-;
Oh well.

No, no it isn’t.
this gif is perfectly timed because it gives you enough time to read it, comprehend it, and still have this too-long-for-comfort moment of suspense before being punched square in the solar plexus
Things I learned about making comics
- Characters don’t have to always be detailed sometimes a small blob with a speach bubble is fine too
- Small panels can contain scenary it doesn’t have to be half page all the time
- Tilted panels shapes are cool but don’t do it in every page keep it for the action/tense scenes
- Don’t over do close shots or they lose their meaning
- Try to have a full body of your character (even if small) at least every 2 pages
- Let the audience breathe, characters don’t have to be in every single panel
- Same face angle is boring but too many different camera positions are confusing find a balance
- Backgrounds first, characters later
- Color backgrounds one page at a time but color objects all at once through all the comic (all the faces then all the air and so on)
- The closer the object the thicker the lineart
- THUMBNAILS THUMBNAILS THUMBNAILS
- Write down your text near those thumbnails you won’t remember shit later
- ALWAYS think ahead of the space for the speach bubbles
- Give your characters a dark and a light color each so they will pop against any background
- For a fast shade fill the shadow layer set it to multiply 20/30% and erase the lighter parts
- Compare the pages one next to the other the panel lines should not touch or be too close
- 4 pages at a time the layouts should all be different
- By all means do get your characters out the frames but if you gotta do it do it all the way, a single strain of hair sticking out just looks weird.
- Don’t be scared of empty sections
- There should be a difference between the orizontal and vertical spaces between the panels
- Study other comics especially ones with good visual flow
- Everything should have a purpose and sometimes to be fun to read is enough
