Open in the editorHow to make a 5 panel comic
- Panel 1 · Setup. The character and the place.
- Panel 2 · Problem. What needs to be solved appears.
- Panel 3 · Attempt. The character tries something. Use the big panel here.
- Panel 4 · Complication. The attempt doesn't go as planned.
- Panel 5 · Resolution. How it all ends.
With 5 panels it helps to make one bigger than the rest: that is the moment readers will remember.
