Now as a starting comic artist you might wonder if it’s easier to start a comic script first before creating the characters. Or should you map out the characters first then write the script?

In my opinion as a 4 time published comic artist I’d say….it’s interchangeable.

How to Write a Comic Script

When I first started out I read a lot of books where it spoke about the importance of drawing the characters first but there were other books that said the exact opposite

In my experience what is easier depends on what works best for that individual. Some people plan out their script before creating the characters because they have the scenriors that they want to draw in mind.

Others have characters design they want to see or like and then do the script plotting second. What I’d suggest is to see which one you have.

This is my favorite book that goes more in-depth into the different ways you can go about writing your comic script and I totally recommend you check it out!

Do you have a scenario you really want to draw out or is there a certain character you like and want to map out? Whichever your answer is I’d suggest going with that.

For me personally it switches a lot of times depending on what might inspire me. Sometimes I see a certain character type that I like and I then build a story around what happens with this character.

Other times I might see a certain situation that inspires me and I build characters to react to this situation.
