Position Sets Up The Idea

The way you place figures in your panel and the action you give them will determine to a large degree how fast the reader gets your idea. In these small panels some basic ideas have been set up by the position of the figures, without the use of any words. It it the action that tells the reader what is going on, and to emphasize this point the facial expressions have been purposely omitted.

In and Out of the Panel

Comic figures don’t always stay put. Sometimes you will want to show the figures you draw coming into or leaving the panel —here are some examples of how this is done.

Part of Figures Outside of Panel

When only parts of your characters appear within the panel, it is wise to pencil in the figures completely. This enables you to re late them properly in size and to give more convincing action to the visible portions. Do the same with figures entering or leaving the panel.
