Description
a REALLY rough quick tutorial on comic panel layout.its not terribly indepth but , i dont think tutorials should be. should be jsut a foot hold on the mountain climb of learning.
basically only discusses fonts and timing.
but ya, it was kinda a tricky one to do, because despite the fact that i took a comic production course, I havent done comics in a good long while.
made by ^guruubii for *gurukitty
feel free to suggest future tutorials from us here at *gurukitty

Good advice! I particularly like the part about having different character designs. I Hate having to recognize a character by hair. If it's dark, or there is a costume change, I have to ask questions like, "who is that? OMG! He's cheating on his wife? Oh...that IS his wife!" hehe
The thumbnail idea is good too

heyy, this is pretty sweet
it's better than normal tutorials that tell you stuff you could have figured out easy on your own. I like how you added ideas like zooming in on a menacing object, and how people only remember flashes from action scenes

Slightly embarrassing, but I don't think I ever considered making a rough pre-sketch before working on the main project.
A fine example of teaching a man to fish as opposed to giving a man a fish.

BG= background
Establishing shot is a panel that will show where the scene takes place. Establishing the setting

Thank you so much for making this guide about making panels.
I know what you mean by trying to arrange boxes in an interesting way. Sometimes, I overlap them to make the comic flow more... Is it too distracting that way?

(sorry for late reply)
as long as its not done in excess its not too distracting at all :d quite appealing

Nice tutorial. While I read it I had a vague feeling of 'I knew that,' but actually having someone tell me it in words helps a lot! Plus it was funny to read.
Glad to know I'm not the only one who has funny looking thumbnail images.

I'll save it just in case. I draw comics myself, but I never have the free time to do 'em.
