I switch easily between my phone and my tablet. Here i show how i do my thumb nails in my notes program on my Note 9. 
The roughs. Super loose rough layout of the panles. Super fun. 
Step 2 of the layers of detail on the pencils. 
Rough, loose pencils. This is the first run at pencils overtop of the roughs layer. 
Completed pencils over top of the roughs layer. 
Detail showing pencils done on my tablet. Screen is 10.6 inches. 
Pencil layer setup, shown over pencils. 
Detail, showing inking linework, using the correction at 11, to give a smoother line stroke. 
Detail of ink layer overtop of the pencils layer over top the roughs layer. 
Completed black inks over blue line pencils on a separate layer. Note, the effect pencils that will be drawn over in color. 
Flatting the colors on the fist ink layer. You’ll notice I always have a darker brown or gray layer beneath, to disallow white from peeking through. 
Flat colors, including effects. 
Color flats shown, along side the layers I created for backgrounds, effects, colors, inks and the like. More complicated pages have many, many layers. 
Flatter colors shown with a 30% red overlay layer to give the scene a reddish creepy look. 
Close up panel shading, done in black on a layer set at 25%. I also do a layer above, with white for highlights set at 35%. 
Detail of the completed colors with shading and highlights. 
Text is added, first. The program has a number of built in fonts. The desktop version of the program allows you to use your system fonts. 
Drawing a circle around text, using the elipse tool. 
Adding a text balloon tail myvdrawing freehand using correction set to 20, for maximum smoothing. 
Use the fill tool and fill the balloon and tail with white.
For decades, I made comics in a very old school way. I penciled and inked on paper, scanned the pages and colored and lettered in InDesign. Mainly because I couldn’t afford a graphics tablet or a Surface Pro.
A couple of years ago, I found a free program called Medibang Paint that is really great for making comics. I had a Galaxy Note 8, now a Note 9 that comes with the best stylus in the business, built-in. I created many comics, using my phone alone, small screen and all.
Recently, I was able to upgrade and get myself a Galaxy Tab A 10.6 for about $350. This acts much like the phone, I’ve been using, with a much bigger screen. I am able to run the same program on a larger screen.
Medibang also allows you to share between devices, easily. So, I find myself using my phone for parts, swapping to my tablet and back again.
I have plotted out my progress shots of how I build a page, on two mobile devices. Cheap. Easy. Effective.
Never. Stop. Creating.
Thanks,
