I was asked by a friend yesterday if I could offer basic tips about comic paneling. As it turns out, I have a lot to say on the matter! I tried breaking down the art of paneling using the principles of art and design, and I hope it helps you out!

EDIT: uh uh there are a lot of people reblogging this, so i figure i may as well append this now while i can lol

This whole thing was very much cranked out in a few hours so I had a visual to talk about with a friend! If this gives you a base understanding of paneling, that"s awesome! Continue to pull in studies from the comics you see and what other artists do well and don"t do well! You can tell paneling is doing well when the action is flowing around in its intended reading format.

Here"s the link to the globalcomix article from which I pulled the images about panel staggering! Someone sent in a reblog that it wasn"t totally clear that the 7th slide mostly covers what NOT to do in regards to staggering, and that is my mistake!

I saw in a tag that someone was surprised I used MamaYuyu too, and I don"t blame them lol. If I had given myself more than a couple hours maybe I would have added something else on, I just really admire MamaYuyu"s paneling personally.

uh uh, final append: I am by no means a renowned master of paneling, so if you find anything off base here, by all means, counter it with your own knowledge and ways you can build upon from here! Art is always a sum knowledge of everything we find. 💪
