2. Refine Your Storyboard or
Cover Design
1 - Select the concept. The concept will determine the
seriousness or playfulness of the comic book panel.
3. For example, a gripping plot element such as a
ticking bomb can be shown in a panel broken
down into three segments. Each segment can
focus tighter and tighter on the clock.
4. 2. Finalize Story and Characters:
-Use pencil first.
• In your sketchbook draw
one final drawing of
each character in your
story.
• Then add color
• Remember the
character(s) must
overcome an obstacle.
5. 3 - Draw the panel borders
first.
The panel borders will
establish the boundaries
of the story.
Some panels might
consist of only one frame.
Other panels may be
made up of three
segmented frames
shaped as squares.
Still others might be
rectangular.
