Comic Book Artist, Comic Illustrator, Character Designer
Hi, I’m Agboola Ayomide, a comic book artist who loves turning ideas, characters, and stories into artwork people can actually connect with.
If you have a comic script, a character idea, a graphic novel you’ve been working on, or even just a rough concept, I can help. I enjoy the process of taking words on a page and turning them into characters, expressions, action, environments, and complete comic book pages.
For me, good comic art isn’t just about making a drawing look nice. It’s about making the reader understand what is happening, feel the emotion behind a scene, and want to keep turning the page. I pay close attention to character consistency, facial expressions, poses, panel composition, and the overall flow of the story.
MY PROCESS
I like to keep my process simple and collaborative.
I first go through your script, references, character descriptions, or ideas so I can understand what you’re looking for.
From there, I usually start with hand-drawn sketches. I enjoy this part because it gives me room to explore different poses, expressions, compositions, and character ideas before moving into the final artwork.
Once the direction is right, I take the approved sketches into the digital stage and develop the line art, characters, backgrounds, colors, shading, and other details needed for the final comic.
Throughout the project, I’m open to feedback. I believe good communication makes the creative process much easier, especially when working on longer comic or graphic novel projects.

TOOLS I USE
I combine traditional drawing with digital artwork depending on what the project needs.
I use pencil and paper for hand-drawn sketches, character concepts, thumbnails, and early ideas. For digital work, I use tools such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Clip Studio Paint for illustration, line art, coloring, comic pages, and finishing.
I’m also comfortable adapting my workflow to different art styles and project requirements.
WHO I WORK WITH
I enjoy working with indie comic creators, writers, authors, self-publishers, graphic novel creators, manga creators, game developers, animation projects, children's content creators, and businesses that need comic-style artwork.
Some clients already have everything planned out, while others need help developing their characters and visual direction. Either way, I’m happy to work from your existing material and help shape it into finished artwork.
Do you need one character, a comic cover, a few pages, or a complete graphic novel, I’m ready to help.
If you already have a story or idea in mind, send it my way. Let’s turn it into something readers can see, feel, and remember.
