This part of the site is daddycated to those who don't know how to start drawing comics. I think that I have to say that this is not the only page where you can find a detailed description of how to draw comics. I think there are some others that are very well. But check out mine. At the bottom are two pages that I think were worth to put as link here.

First I have to say that there is no right form of drawing and everyone have his own style. There are some foundations but the rest is creativity. As example the way of american style comics like the Fantastic Four, Gen 13 and all the other well known comics, but there are a lot of other styles like Japanese Mangas and Animes. You can't say that one style is better than the other. So don't think that your drawings are bad when you try it for the first time. With the more time you invest in drawing and traing it the better you will become.

The two other pages are:

Dreamflux - A nice essay about the first steps of a hero. There are a lot of pencil drawings in the Gallery of this page. The most of this drawings are well done and you can learn a lot with just looking at the pictures and try to imagine how they have been done.

Scott McDaniells Homepage - This page is of the creator of Daredevil and Nightwing. He has a very well essay about making a unique comic hero. You learn how to draw a face that stays the same and has its own character. Ther are also some early drawings of him and when you see this drawings you see that with time there will be a very big progress in drawing.
