My Bio
My name is Henrike, I’m a comic artist and teacher and currently also work as a Sign Language interpreter.
My goal is to help you create and promote your own comics. I do this through my weekly videos on my Youtube channel about making your own comics: https://youtube.com/pencilsandstories
I also teach a course that takes you through the entire comic making progress: “Your Comic Journey.” In this course we make a short comic, from scratch, in 10 weeks. https://pencilsandstories.com/yourcomicjourney
I’m always creating pages for my free adventure webcomic “Recollection City” as well: https://recollectioncity.com
When I am not making content I love watching (animated) movies and series, reading comics, writing and journalling, listening to the Bible Project podcast to learn more about my faith, and meeting and eating with friends. I'm also in love with nature and storytelling in general.

Short comics are amazing and heres why!
0 min read
I have made a lot of short comics in my life. 🗃
Short comics about the stuff I love, about my friends, for the student newspaper, for contests, you name it.
Looking back, it was a great way to get started with comics and with every finished short story I gained the confidence that, one day, I could tackle that big webcomic I dreamed about. 🎆
There’s a lot of advantages of making a bunch of short comics. Among them:
📌 They are great for improving your comic skills fast.
📌 You start understanding the comic making process.
📌 They help you figure out what works and doesn’t work for you.
📌 They help you find your creative voice faster.
I talk about these benefits, and more, in my newest video. 👀
If you’re doubting where to start your comic making journey, maybe making some short comics are a good place. 🍃🌱🌳
