- 1). Launch the Paint program by clicking the icon on your computer. Right-click "File" from the top menu bar in the program window. Right-click "Open" from the drop-down menu. This opens a dialog box which allows you to locate your comic book file. Double-click the file or select it and click the "Open" button.
- 2). Select the brush or pencil tool from your tools palette on the left-hand side of the program window. Use these tools to outline your comic book drawings. A mouse can be used to draw in paint, but a Wacom tablet with a pen will allow more control.
- 3). Select the color you would like to use to fill the outlined area from the color palette at the top of the program window. Fill the space with the brush tool, selecting the largest brush from the box below the tools.
- 4). Outline the panel borders of your comic book page with the segment tool. Select it from the tools palette. Different line weights can be selected from the box below the tools. Hold down the shift-key while moving your cursor across the screen to create perfectly straight segments.
- 5). Use the brush tool to outline word balloons. Add text inside with the text tool, or outline hand-drawn text with the brush or pencil tool.
