Easy comics to draw

Eight short comic ideas designed to be drawn with simple shapes, even stick figures. Each one has a panel-by-panel script and opens in the editor as a template.

Tricks to make your comic easy to draw

Simple characters

A round head, two dots for eyes and a line for a mouth are enough. The mouth and eyebrows change the emotion.

Few characters

One or two characters are plenty for a short story.

Minimal backgrounds

A line for the ground and one object (a table, a tree) tell us where we are.

Repeat panels

Copy the same drawing into two panels and change only the face: it saves time and works great for humor.

Easy comic ideas with a script

1. The alarm clock

Difficulty: Very easy 4 panels
  1. 1A kid sleeps in bed. Next to him, an alarm clock: RIIING!
  2. 2Without opening his eyes, he turns it off. CLICK!
  3. 3He keeps sleeping and smiles: “Five more minutes…” ZZZ!
  4. 4The kid runs into school… in his pajamas. Everyone stares.

How to draw it: You only need a bed (a rectangle), a clock (a circle with two little legs) and a stick figure.

2. The plant that wouldn't grow

Difficulty: Very easy 4 panels
  1. 1A girl plants a seed in a pot.
  2. 2The next day she checks: nothing has grown. “Hmm…”
  3. 3She plays it music, talks to it and sings. The pot looks the same.
  4. 4Finally a tiny leaf appears. The girl celebrates as if it were a tree.

How to draw it: The pot is a trapezoid and the plant a line with two leaves. The fun is in the girl's faces.

4. Pop quiz

Difficulty: Easy 6 panels
  1. 1The teacher walks in: “Take out a sheet of paper, pop quiz.”
  2. 2Close-up of the student: a drop of sweat. GULP!
  3. 3He reads the first question and understands nothing.
  4. 4He looks out the window for inspiration: a bird stares back.
  5. 5The answer comes to him and he writes very fast. SCRIBBLE SCRIBBLE!
  6. 6He proudly hands it in… and the teacher says it was for another subject.

How to draw it: Alternate a panel of the whole classroom with one of the student's face: the nerves show without drawing much.

Frequently asked questions

Pick a simple idea with one or two characters, use 3 to 6 panels and draw simple shapes. What matters is that each panel shows a different moment and the ending has a surprise.

Everyday humor stories like “The alarm clock” or “The ice cream” work with stick figures. You can also use photos or cut-outs in the comic maker.

Between 3 and 6. With 4 panels you get setup, development, twist and punchline, the classic comic strip structure.
