Comics Are Stories in Boxes
A comic is a story made of pictures and words in little boxes (called panels). You think up the plot, AI can help draw the pictures. You team up to make something cool.
Plan before you draw
- 1Pick a hero (an alligator wizard? A space mailman?)
- 2Pick a problem (no more mail in the galaxy!)
- 3Plan 4 panels: setup, problem, plan, solved
- 4Write one sentence for each panel
Comic prompt formula
For each panel, type: "Comic book panel, [your character] doing [the action], [setting], simple cartoon style." Save each picture, then add speech bubbles with a free drawing app or with markers on a printout.
