01
Fill the blank planning file
Download SVG for drawing, CSV for a spreadsheet or Markdown for text notes. Write the opening question, final hook and one change of information per beat.
02
Turn the notes into draft art
Copy a short scene brief into the comic studio and choose the available generation settings. Review the model and credit cost. Panel counts, dialogue and layout instructions are requests that need checking.
03
Read downward and revise
Compare the draft with your plan. Check small lettering, character details and prop order, then assemble and inspect the final scroll sequence at phone reading size in your preferred editor.
Use a written brief in the shared comic studio.
The studio creates comic drafts from prompts and supports comic layout and artwork review. This planning page adds downloadable worksheets; it does not add a separate long-scroll editor or automatic reveal-timing controls.
Scene brief and reference notes
Include the scene order, cast, important prop and intended reveal. The items below describe your brief and review process, not beat sliders or timing settings.

Manual result review
Draft art to check against the plan
Review the generated panels, lettering and character details. Keep the worksheet nearby while you manually decide pauses and the final reading sequence.
Make the episode readable before polishing it.
A webtoon plan records what changes as the reader moves downward. It makes your editorial decisions inspectable without pretending that a prompt controls every gap.
A pause with a reason
In the example, a small silent hand panel and a larger blank gap delay the train-window reveal. This is an illustrated editorial choice, not a measured reading-time effect.
Continuity you can check
Track the crescent pin, satchel, folded ticket and platform direction in both the worksheet and generated draft. Fix accidental changes before final assembly.
Editable planning files
Choose a format you can actually use.
Draw or annotate the SVG, fill the CSV in a spreadsheet, or edit Markdown as a writing brief. The blank and filled versions share six planning units; duplicate units for a longer episode.
From scene to sequence
Keep planning separate from vertical production.
Use this page for the beat sheet and continuous-reading example. Use the Vertical Comic Maker guide for format planning, then the shared comic studio for draft art. Prepare the final scroll layout and publisher-specific files after review.
Workflow guide
A usable plan before you spend credits on final art.
The free worksheet records the action, shot, dialogue, scroll-gap note and continuity check for each beat. Use the filled example to see a deliberate pause before a reveal, then copy your own written scene brief into the shared comic studio. Generation uses the account, model and credit conditions shown there.

Chapter rhythm case: The Last Train
Mara finds a ticket with her name at an empty station. Follow what each screen adds, why the reader scrolls, and what must stay consistent. This is an editorial planning example, not a generated performance claim.
Screen 01
Set-up
Action: Mara reaches an empty station with her round satchel. The last-train sign is still lit.
Pacing: Start with a wide establishing panel, then a short transition.
Continuity: Green coat, crescent pin, round satchel; bench stays on the left.
Screen 02
Trigger
Action: A folded ticket on the bench has Mara’s name on it.
Pacing: Use a compact close-up so the clue is readable before the next action.
Continuity: One folded corner; the ticket remains in her right hand afterward.
Screen 03
Escalation
Action: Mara looks down the empty track as the speaker announces one passenger.
Pacing: Keep the announcement and reaction together; add a brief gap afterward.
Continuity: The platform edge stays on her right; the satchel remains on her left shoulder.
Screen 04
Hold
Action: Her hand tightens around the ticket. She does not move.
Pacing: A small silent panel followed by a visibly larger blank gap delays the reveal.
Continuity: Show the same folded ticket; do not add a new prop during the pause.
Screen 05
Reveal
Action: The train arrives. An older Mara watches from the window, wearing the same crescent pin.
Pacing: Give the identity reveal its own larger panel; let the reader inspect the pin.
Continuity: Match the face shape and pin; age is the intended difference, not a new character design.
Screen 06
Next-episode hook
Action: The door opens. The older Mara holds a second ticket and asks a question.
Pacing: End after the question. Leave the answer for the next episode.
Continuity: Make the second ticket intentional; both Mara versions retain the crescent pin.

Turn planning notes into scene prompts
These are editable generation briefs. Exact panel arrangement, text and continuity still need review; no prompt is an automatic pacing control.
Draft a comic scene at an empty railway station. Mara has a green coat, a crescent pin and a round satchel. Show a folded ticket with her name, her silent reaction, then the arriving train. Keep the cause-and-effect order clear.
Create draft art for the reveal in The Last Train: an older Mara appears in a train window wearing the same crescent pin. Keep the platform direction and face shape recognizable. Leave room for short readable dialogue.
Plan an everyday comedy in six beats: an empty lunchbox, a suspicious friend, a silent look, a pause, the missing sandwich revealed, and one final unanswered question. Write the beats first, then generate one scene at a time.
