I&#8217;m learning how to use Photoshop, but I&#8217;m not super comfortable with it, so I mostly draw things on paper. I do my drawings in pencil first, and then use pen to draw over the lines once I have things roughly how I like them. I use Staedtler triplus fineliners, but sharpie fineliners also work pretty well. The reason I use felt tip pens instead of ballpoint is that I find ballpoint pens catch more often and have problems with any previous grooves in the paper. I scan and take pictures of my work at various stages. The Ordinary Superpower comics I&#8217;ve been making required an additional step. I used Photoshop to colour them in. I mostly used the paint bucket and brush tool, although I&#8217;m sure someone with more expertise (or me when I have had more practice) could use more tools for more advanced effects.<\/p>\n<p>The finished comics of <a href=\"http:\/\/perpetualthoughts.tumblr.com\/post\/12431392520\" target=\"_blank\">my boyfriend<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/perpetualthoughts.tumblr.com\/post\/14093676329\" target=\"_blank\">John Green<\/a> are also on my blog, in case you want to check them out \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><strong>P.S.
