In another post we had already talked about comics and cartoons but we had concentrated the search on those sites that allow you to apply the classic clouds on personal photos to create a strip worthy of the old photo novels, such as those that appeared in the magazine Cioè !. In this case, however, we see web applications that allow you to create a real comic strip in the strict sense, that is, drawn, up to create your own story that can be shared on the net.
The tools listed are very fun and can let the imagination of adults and children express themselves because using them is very simple.
The best sites to create comic strips drawn with fantasy characters are therefore:
1) Bitstrips to publish comics cartoons with comics on Facebook
2) Very similar to Toonlet but with a different graphic is Make Beliefs Comix with which to create a comic by establishing the number of squares (2-3 or 4), choose the setting, the background colors and choose among the many characters available .
Various tools allow you to customize the comic by changing the expressions of the subjects, choosing the type of text bubbles, size and rotation of the elements and other things.
3) Pixton is a nice web application to generate personalized comics so that they can then be published and shared on the internet.
The purpose to create this kind of art can be a simple fantasy expression to make your own story or you can use the application to create nice messages to send to someone, maybe to wish you well.
The operation is very simple since it is also in Italian:
From the home page just click on the "Create Now" button, register for the service quickly and choose one of the three possibilities to draw the story.
If you want to do something very fast, you can choose one of the strips already set, choose the imaginative characters and write only the sentences to put in the clouds.
The second option allows you to create a real story from scratch.
The third possibility is to create a single cartoon with a single customizable comic and you become a Vauro type but do not do the communists who then censor you ...
Online sharing takes place via the fixed link that is generated by the site itself and can be turned to anyone with an internet connection.
4) Comix is a web app to create comics that requires the use of HTML code to create the cartoons. Fortunately, everything remains simple, with stick figures and text.
5) Creaza Cartoonist allows you to create cartoons and comic strips with characteristic Comics characters.
6) Writecomics is another simple site to create comic stories, freely, without even registering, choosing backgrounds and characters.
7) Witty Comics does not allow the same level of freedom, but allows everyone, even those who have no artistic talent, to create an online comic from three cartoons in a simple way even if with a default layout and few options in terms of customization .
Witty Comics is perfect for telling a joke.
8) Stripcreator is also exceptional and to see its potential, already on the home page, you can look at other people's comics and see the most popular and voted ones.
To create your own you have to press on the word "Make a Comic", then move on to the creation of comics from three boards where you can choose many characters, all divided by categories, the expression of the protagonists and the background or scenario of the cartoon.
9) Pixton is a very easy to use drag-and-drop comic creation tool.
Simply choose a background, add images, write text inside the comic book bubbles, a title, a description and the tag to publish an original webcomic that can be read online by everyone. There are many comic models to be combined in various ways, of various graphic styles and also of well-known cartoonists. Then we move on to creating the actual strip, adding the drawings to the vignettes, choosing the background color and typing the text in the clouds.
The graphical interface is one of the most professional and simple to use and the result will be a well-drawn cartoon with depth and graphic detail that puts this tool on the border with those web applications that are used to create cartoons online.
10) Strip Generator, on the other hand, is even simpler to use but the drawings are much of the sketches in black and white and, let's say, compared to the others it is a little less beautiful. Its strong point is in using the cartoons to communicate as if you were writing a blog, therefore also receiving comments from users who visit the page.
11) Marvel Create Your comic is dedicated to those who want to create a Marvel-style comic.
An entire comic book can be drawn easily and with fun, with an online editor to create illustrated strips full of backgrounds, characters, objects, comics, and "sound effects" (like "Kaboom").
12) Garfield Comic Creator is the online comic creation tool for the popular cat Garfield. You can create a single comic or one from three cartoons. The backgrounds and props are limited, but still varied enough to make something original. Once completed you can print the Garfield comic.
13) Ragemaker is a web application to easily create a humorous cartoon or a meme using the proposed drawings and writing the dialogues in personalized comics.
14) Canva, the popular website of graphic projects, has a specific section for the creation of cartoons, with many scenarios and characters to choose from to which you can add a personalized comic.
