About

Bad Lasagna is named after one of my face-palm moments: eating a lasagna TV dinner that sent me on a one-way trip to bubble-gut city. My digestive system was in shambles for an entire day.

Lesson learned. Beware of consuming store-bought “heat and eat” convenience foods. Now, if only I could give up grocery-store sushi.

This site started as my pet project during NaNoWriMo 2024 to teach myself how to create webcomics. What better way to learn than to share my bad art? It is a work in progress as I improve my skills.

Bad Lasagna is a 4-panel, gag-a-day style webcomic poking fun at life’s awkward moments, eerie encounters, and situations. New episodes are served fresh every Wednesday. Thanks for reading.

Resources

Here is a rundown on the software, tools, and resources I use to create webcomics.

Device: Apple iPad Mini 6 to ink, color, and add text to the artwork.

Software:

  • Procreate‘s preinstalled brushes: Studio Pen, Dry Ink, and the Round Brush
  • Krita Digital Painting Software to create the comic panel layouts, I export the files as a .jpeg or a .png, and then import them into Procreate.

Fonts:

Analog:

  • Moleskine Art Sketchbook, Hard Cover, Large (5″ x 8.25″) – a nice travel-sized notebook for capturing ideas. Plus the paper holds up to ink, watercolor, or anything that I throw at it pretty well in my opinion.
  • Daler-Rowney Simply Sketchbook – 8.5in x 11in (hardbound) paper color: soft white or any hardbound or hardcover sketchbook of similar size and paper quality
  • Caran d’Ache Sketcher Non-Photo Blue Pencils – I use these sketch pencils to create a rough layout and sketch of comic panels. The blue pencil doesn’t show up when photocopied or scanned.
  • Derwent Drawing Graphite Pencils 9B -H (for sketching and thumbnailing)
  • Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils, Soft Core, 24-Pack in assorted colors
  • SAKURA Pigma Micron Fineliner Pens – Archival black Ink Pens – Pens for Writing or Drawing
  • Faber Castell Pit Artist Brush Pens (black ink) for lettering and calligraphy and also for inking in comics
