I am thinking of creating a comic to publish on patreon when I saw here in the forum that there was a comic book manager and started wondering which one would be better? create page by page the comic (make frame by frame) or use comic book manager?
The comic book manager does work page-by-page too. It is a plugin that helps you organize seperate kra files and makes them easily accessible from a single docker. If it doesn’t work for you, you can switch back to just using a folder with kra files quite easily by… ignoring the project file and the comic manager docker and just accessing the pages directly in the pages folder.
For a panel-by-panel workflow, it might also be an idea to look into using file layers. So you’d have a page file, and then create file layers pointing at each panel. The panel files will be easily accesible from the page file with the little folder icon of the file layer, and will update inside the page file whenever you save a change to the panel files.
(This workflow is also why you can ‘convert’ a set of layers to a file layer, though you will need to reopen the document when doing that; Krita for some reason doesn’t set it to check for updates when file layers are made this way, and I haven’t figured out why this bug happens)
Er, either way, try making a single comic to test the workflow, if only because I haven’t heard much of people outside me using the docker. It’s help-file is under settings->configure Krita->python plugin manager, and there select the Comic Project Management Tools.

I will try. a kinda random question do you make comics (webcomics) right?
yes, but haven’t finished a single one because I have also been busy with graduating and being a Krita developer/manual writer/other assorted things… 
I understood I was going to ask for some tips and I’ve always been a great artist of hand drawing and I’m very bad and lost with digital drawing with no guide on where to start or what to do.
oh, ask ahead, I am hardly the only one making comics with krita, and I bet people would love to share their experiences.
It might be worth it to make a separate topic and show some of your favourite own works you’ve done traditionally and some of your digital work and try to identify what you feel is missing, or to specifically ask how people think a certain art style you wish to emulate has been made. Because there’s a ton of different ways to draw and paint, so making the scope smaller by specifying a couple of artworks will get you more precise tips and advices.
Check this thread if you need advice on comics (Right dimensions, color space, margins, etc... for a comic/strip - #3 by MikhailAsmo) ! I made a post where i basically wrote some tips I gathered from when i was making my own comic 
Otherwise, just like Wolthera said, make a topic.
well thanks i gonna see.
right, i gonna try thanks
