Anonymous asked:

I was wondering, since you make lots of comics and the like, if you might have any sources or advice yourself in understanding how to set up comic panels? I've struggled for forever to figure out the formula, and always hit brick walls of answers that are too vague or say that there aren't hard rules. I understand that, but I still don't understand the 'flow' concept and how that effects panel size or shape. There must be SOME structure, surly! Some concept or formula to creating pages! Help ;-;

hi! well I’m still learning too but usually it depends from page to page and what’s going on in it!

if you want a page to have more breathing room you can even have just 2-3 panels for page, most pages have 4-6 panels (usually never more than 6 regular panels, that’s way too crammed by most comics standards, unless the panels are very “fragmented”, then it can be a few more)

I usually just do very quick sketches and write down some text first the way I imagine them spaced out on the page, then I do some rearranging and sketch the panels around them, so rather than just adapting the picture to the panels, I also adapt the panel to the picture

there’s also something like text to image ratio, if there’s too much text I prefer to have it spaced out through more pages rather than covering half of the same page with text skdjf

the panels related to flow part is tricky to explain bc a larger panel can be for reasons like context (background, other characters), and be a “slow”/still panel but it could also be a more action-y panel and stuff like that

and ngl a lot of panels will just be rectangles when characters are talking or if the pacing is slow

image

this variant is also common

image

the other kinds of panels are usually just if it’s an action page of some sort

image

there’s also stuff like personal preference etc, hope this helps lmaoo
