If I were in high school or college and wanted to write a comic... ✍️

🧠 Start with your concept – What’s your story really about? Choose a genre, create compelling characters, and define their purpose in the narrative. Strong foundations = strong stories.

🧩 Build a clear plot – Outline your beginning, middle, and end. Then break it down panel-by-panel like a pro. A good script saves time later.

📐 Thumbnail + sketch – Plan your layout in small roughs, then go in with clean pencils. This is where your pacing and visual storytelling come to life.

🎨 Color with intention – Use color not just for looks, but to set emotion, time, and focus. Think cinematically.

🚀 You don’t need fancy tools. Just vision, consistency, and a drive to improve. Start messy. Finish strong.
