screaming-unicorn asked:

I'm doing my own comic on my art blog, can you give me pointers with panels?

1. Experiment with paneling but always keep them easily readable. Let a friend proofread them. If they need to pause reading to figure out what’s going on you’ve LOST THE GAME! It’s ok though because you can learn from your mistake
2. To further make your stuff more coherent look up the 180 degree rule, commonly used in film but also applies to comics
3. Depends on the style of your comic but: design the size and shape of your panels based on what happens in them. Important thing? Big panel. Character runs across a field? Wide panel. Climbs up a tree? Tall panel.
   
4. Read GOOD COMICS and study them!! Read Scott McCloud books too.
   

Good luck with your comic!
