Software for cartoon creation, to make a web comic without drawing by hand?

Question

Here is my dilemma. For a while now I have had some ideas kicking around in the back of my mind for a web cartoon. I would like to try to put the idea into reality, but I run into one tiny little problem. I can't draw. At all. I've tried, I took classes - at the end I managed a decent stick figure. It's pathetic. Surely in the age of technology there must be a program out there that can help. I know there are websites that will give you access to their image libraries and such to create cartoons with but they also put wording in their terms of service that make anything you create using their service, theirs. Not what I want. The program doesn't have to be point and click simple, I can learn a complex program - just don't make me draw by hand!

Answer 1

I can't recommend the best app for this, but many people use figure posing apps, i.e. EasyPose, to put human figures in the position they want. You can then trace the image.

Personally I do collages in photoshop with images I find on Google Images and then trace the collage. Photoshop lets you adjust size, color, foreground / background, etcetera
