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.

Sesame Workshop (the company behind Sesame Street) has unfortunately (allegedly) become an extremely harsh place to work in recent years. Between grueling hours, sudden layoffs, and very low pay (or strictly contract-based work), the environment has become wildly opposed to the core values that Sesame Street claims to represent.

The Sesame Workers Union is a group of Sesame Workshop workers organizing with OPEIU Local 153 to help their fellow workers achieve a safe and fair place to work at great personal risk to themselves and their careers.

Please check out the link below to send a letter to the CEO of Sesame Workshop, and if you’re able to lend a hand financially, please consider either donating directly OR buying some Sesame Workers Union merch! Proceeds go to Sesame workers experiencing hardship.
