TRY SOMETHING NEW
Make Your Own Comics
If you’re into comics, you’ve no doubt dreamed of creating a fantasy world with heroes and heroines and superpowers. These three apps will get you started.
ToonCamera
No artistic ability? No problem! Use ToonCamera to turn the world around you into a comic-style drawing. Simply snap a photo (or select an existing pic on your phone) and choose among various artistic styles to create an image that’ll fit right into any graphic novel.
Anime Power FX
You can use Anime Power FX to overlay animated superhero special effects onto your videos. Choose from a range of powers, like projecting energy blasts from your hands or breathing fireballs. You’ll be able to make everyone before you tremble with fear—or at least laugh hysterically at the way you strike Dragon Ball–esque poses.
Jump Paint
If you love to draw and have notebooks filled with story ideas, Jump Paint is the app you want. This advanced digital drawing tool has everything you need to create a manga comic strip. Learn illustration techniques through the many in-app tutorials (all presented in a comic book style), with tips from manga greats such as Gintama creator Hideaki Sorachi.
