Describe the main plot of your comic

What can we use instead of sticky notes or a fine-liner if we don't have them?

If you don't have sticky notes, cut small squares of scrap paper and tape them for your character, setting, and plot notes, and if you lack a black pen or fine-liner you can carefully ink over your pencil sketches with a thin-tipped marker or a well-sharpened pencil after your thumbnail plan.

What should we do if the ink smudges or panels feel cramped?

To avoid smudging and cramped dialogue follow the instruction to wait until the ink is completely dry before touching the page, gently erase remaining pencil marks, and use the thumbnail layout and label step to resize or rearrange panels so speech bubbles and characters fit comfortably.

How can we adapt this comic activity for different ages?

For younger kids simplify by writing only two character sticky notes and using pre-drawn panel templates with crayons, while older kids can expand the thumbnail layout to more panels, write fuller dialogue in the speech bubble step, and ink with a fine-liner before coloring.

How can we extend or personalize the comic after finishing the basic steps?

Personalize and extend the project by designing a custom cover, adding layered backgrounds and mixed-media textures during the coloring and final details step, including extra sound-effect lettering, and scanning the finished comic to edit or animate before sharing on DIY.org.
