If you’re not a great artist but have the interest to create comic strips to spice up your lives, then I would suggest to give Pixton a try. It’s a free and simple web application that enables users to create interactive comic strips without any drawing needed. It comes with many impressive features that allows you to create, animate and remix comics in an online community. What’s more is that it’s fun and easy-to-use for all ages, and is available in over 40 languages.
To start, simply sign up for a free account and select the format of comic strip you would like to create. Currently, it offers 3 different types of formats – Quickie comic, Regular comic and Large format. After choosing a template, you’re able to customize everything right on the page under a drag-and-drop interface, be it inserting cartoon-like images and adding text into bubbles. No downloading or installation of any software is needed as everything is done online. Here’s one of the coolest and best feature Pixton provides. Different from the traditional comic strip, you can bring your comics and avatars to life with animation. Dubbed as the “world’s first remixable comics”, you can remix them with their friends to form a more interesting animated comic. Users are only required to set the keyframes and the rest will be done by Pixton itself.
Share your masterpiece with your friends or co-workers via email, embed them in blogs or social networking websites such as Facebook and Twitter. If you like your comic strip to be printed, you can also do so with just one click. Based in Vancouver, Canada, this award-winning site is developed by web entreprenuers – Clive and DainaGoodinson.
