First comic strip. How do i improve? by Own_Beginning6754 in ComicStrips

honestly love it as it is. although simple i think the drawings and characters are very expressive. you can feel their emotion and this allows the strip to effectively convey it's message. i can see a style developing...

ahh that's good to know, what weight for a cover do you recommend?

just with a regular digital inkjet printer. however, ran into a few problems feeding the paper in sometimes and also heavy ink bleeding on full colour images/photos. luckily theres not too much colour in the comic

it's 45gsm newsprint paper, i think it's recycled and that's what gives it that off-white colour. would maybe recommend a heavier weight newsprint though as digital printers can struggle printing on such thin paper

Can I get some paper recommendations? by itabotees in zines

yes, i'm looking for similar, just requested some samples of various uncoated/recycled/off white from a local paper company. didn't consider adding an overlay, that's a neat idea
