      Hello, I'm happy to show you how to create custom characters for your comics!

      Start by choosing a background for your slide and then click into the Characters tab, and click Add Character.

      Image shows the editor for an existing character. If your Character tab looks like this when you click into it, you'll need to click the back arrow button to see it as shown in the previous slide.

      Once you've clicked Add Character, you should see a selection of premade characters as well as a button that says "custom."

      Click "custom" to create a custom character.

      The first step in creating your custom character is to choose the age and body type of your character.

      Your custom character will look like they're in a coloring book before you customize them, with no skin tone or hair color selected.

      Time to choose an outfit, I chose this one for my character! The outfit shown is a black and white striped t-shirt with a pink cardigan and black pants.

      Once your character is dressed, it's time to choose the shades of their skin and hair.

      Now we get to choose the hairstyle!

      Image shows two characters talking. "I love this half-up half-down style!" "Me too, you look beautiful!"
