In the event you are the illustrator of the comic, you may not need to hire an illustrator. However, you still might benefit from hiring an assistant, like an inker to complete the line work you do on your own. This can help your project finish in the most timely fashion possible. Some comic book artists like to make the cover art more intricate than what is on the inside of the comic. For example, the comic may be in black-and-white, but the cover may be in color. Depending on the medium in which you've decided to draw your comic, these materials may be drastically different. You should be able to purchase the majority of your supplies at your local art store, and a list of common art supplies you might use includes:  Colored pencils (optional; for coloring) Computer (optional; for coloring) Markers (optional; for coloring) Paper Pencils Pens (for inking) Scanner (optional; for digital coloring) A reference for the finished design will help prevent you from forgetting a part of it. A rough draft will also give you a better feeling for the composition of the scene, giving you a second chance to rebalance your cover art before working on the real thing. Sometimes, a single rough draft may not be enough. Create several rough drafts, then choose the one that looks the best. Take your paper and pencils and do a preliminary sketch of your characters. Once the rough design for the cover panel is on the page, you can start cleaning up your lines and penciling in details. At this stage, you might also want to include your name and the names of others involved in your project. You might have chosen a setting right from the inside pages of your story, but you could also use settings hinted at in the dialogue of your comic. In the same fashion as your character preliminary sketches, you will also:  Draw your rough background images Clean up your lines to create a clean image. Add details and fill out the illustration. Professional comic production teams often have one or more individuals dedicated to this task. During the inking process, you will need to use ink to finalize the penciled line work. Beyond that, while inking you should:  Correct any errors or inconsistencies in the penciling.  Utilize shading techniques to create an interplay of shadow and light in the composition. This is typically the final stage in comic creation process. Many contemporary artists will scan the inked design and use a computer for coloring, but some artists still prefer physical media. Your key goal at this point is to create coloring that does not detract from the line work. If you are coloring your artwork traditionally rather than digitally, you may need to go over some of your line art again to make it sharper. The route you take in printing will depend on whether you've decided to send your book to a professional printing agency or do the job yourself. A quality home printer, hard work, and a significant time investment can save you money, but a printing agency has the process necessary for better consistency and larger scale projects. Some printing agencies may require you to provide a digital copy for printing. In this case, you may need to take a high resolution scan of your cover art.

Q: It may be difficult to remain calm when a parent tells you they don't like your partner, but it's important not to lose your temper. Getting angry will only make things worse for everyone. Take a deep breath and consider your words before you speak. This will help you remain calm and will prevent you from saying something you don't actually mean (and may regret later). If your parents disapprove of your partner, you and your parents probably both have a lot to say to one another. It's important that you listen openly to one another, and try to address the specific concerns your parents have with honest and respectful answers.  Try to be an active listener. Don't just plan what you're going to say. If your parents are trying to tell you something about your partner, try to listen actively and acknowledge what they are saying.  Let your parents speak their minds, and don't interrupt them. When it's your turn to talk, ask them to be respectful and allow you to speak without being interrupted.  Respond to your parents' concerns with calm, clear, and respectful responses. Ask them to respond to you in the same way. If your parents don't like your partner, perhaps they don't know him or her as well as you do. Ask your parents if you can invite your partner to dinner, and let them get to know one another.  Ask your partner to be on his/her best behavior, and encourage your partner to be as polite as possible to your parents. Encourage your parents to be polite to your partner as well.  Facilitate a conversation that lets your parents see what you find interesting and likable about your partner. Ask your partner to tell your parents about things he is interested in, and see if they can find some common ground. If you go behind your parents' backs, they will eventually find out. Keeping big secrets, like hiding a relationship that your parents don't approve of, will only strain your relationship with your parents.  Keeping your relationship a secret creates a time bomb between you and your parents. Keeping your relationship a secret is also unfair to your partner. Your secrecy might imply to your partner that you are ashamed of your relationship. If your parents still don't approve of your partner, it's important that you avoid taking sides. If you side with your parents, you will hurt your partner's feelings. But if you side with your partner, your parents may get upset or angry. The best way to deal with this situation is to try and reach some kind of responsible compromise that will let everyone be happy. Ask your parents what their specific concerns are. Then try to work out some way that would allow you to be with your partner while proving to your parents that they can trust you.
A: Remain calm. Try to open a dialogue. Let your parents meet your partner. Don't keep your relationship secret. Try to work out a compromise.
