Workflow tutorial: how to draw a digital comic strip entirely with free software

In this workflow tutorial, I will share my tools and techniques to create an entire digital comic with nothing but free/open source software and a digital pen tablet like Wacom or WizardPen.
Drawing a digital comic is hard work and I am not going into the artistic techniques of drawing or composing comics. There are plenty of online resources for learning artists. What, however, is not so easy is to achieve a good and efficient workflow that allows you to forget the tools and concentrate on the actual product - which, in this case is digital comics.
Luckily you don't have to blow a whole lot of money in order to get a decent set of tools for digital comic creation. There are some great open source graphics software that closely resemble the expensive proprietary software that most digital artists prefer and use.
Drawing an entire comic strip involves four major steps with a few minor steps which I will outline below. To follow this workflow tutorial, you need a working installation of (preferably) Linux or any platform that supports your Wacom (or similar) pen tablet and the following software:

Study of faces - how to draw cartoon faces (a cheat sheet)
Filed under: Tutorials and HOWTOs by HariPosted at 12:04 IST (last updated: Wed, 9 May 2012 @ 14:09 IST)
Not being artistically trained, I have always had trouble drawing human faces in comics/cartoons. Somehow or the other, It's very hard to convey certain information from the simple lines of the comic or cartoony style. Unless you've studied human anatomy or attended an art course where they teach such things, age and sex is a bit of a bother to convey to the reader. However, here in this short study, I will attempt to show how to draw faces in a simplified manner using certain cues.
First of all, here's a cheat sheet of sorts.
