Worked example — Flexible comic storyboard with varied panel weight
A courier notices a torn envelope, races down a stairwell, then finds its missing seal beside a sleeping cat. Request varied comic panels, thin background lines, bold character outlines, restrained cross-hatching, no text.
The large discovery frame slows the reader after the stairwell movement. Use this direction as a draft brief; inspect the result before relying on fine details.
Before you publish
- Requested millimeter line weights are stylistic directions, not measured output.
- Complex panel shapes can disrupt reading order.
- Add captions after reviewing the image so the story remains readable.
Questions about this template
- Can I change the subject?
- Yes. Replace the example subject while retaining the visual choices described above; too many competing actions make the result harder to read.
- Is this a blank downloadable file?
- This is a creation preset, not a blank worksheet. Open it, describe a scene, and refine the generated draft.
- Will the prompt reproduce every detail exactly?
- No. The prompt gives direction. Layout, lettering, anatomy, and repeated character details can need correction.
