Learning How To Draw Webcomics Quickly in Rebelle 4

I’ve been doing a lot of experimenting in my digital art program, Rebelle, to try and figure out how to quickly draw comics. Because the fact of the matter is, I have a lot of creative projects that I’m working on and my webcomics are just one of many. If I’m going to actually get them out with any regularity, I need my process of drawing and coloring to be quick. It has taken many days of digital painting, experimenting, googling and watching YouTube videos but I think I’m finally there.

The BIGGEST discoveries were the magic wand and paint bucket tool. I then had some trouble with pesky ‘white lines’ around my linework when I used the two tools together, but I finally figured out that upping the tolerance of the magic wand to 100 fixed it. SUCCESS!

Luz from Owl House (which we’ve been loving over here) is who I decided to draw as my ‘test subject.’

Now the process of coloring in a character for my webcomic can be so much faster.
