What you need to know

This page stands alone. No previous AI knowledge is required. You need access to an AI assistant only for the activity.

Learning outcome: By the end, you will create a panel plan that can be checked independently of finished artwork.

The lesson

Write the purpose and action of every panel before generating artwork.

Use a stable character description and repeated visual anchors.

Request a panel-by-panel account rather than one general summary.

Check the finished comic

• Are panels presented in the intended reading order?
• Are characters consistent across panels and pages?
• Does each panel show its intended story beat?
• Are speech bubbles attributed to the correct speaker?
• Is every word spelled correctly?
• Do props, positions or actions contradict the script?

Worked example

A six-page comic about theatrical crime-fighting cats was generated from a written story and visual prompt. One model described each page; a second checked spelling and continuity and found two spelling errors. The second review turned “Does it look all right?” into specific, actionable information.

Try it

Draft a three-panel story as numbered beats. Generate it, then request a panel-by-panel description with every piece of text transcribed. Use a second check for spelling and continuity.

Checkpoint

The described sequence tells the intended story in the intended order, and you have recorded any uncertainty.
