Writing the Script for Your Comic Book - Creating Comics Start to Finish

Writing the script for your comic book is where the real fun begins! In this video I will guide you to take your plot outline and develop it into a script, including descriptions and dialogue! Another thing that's important to keep in mind when writing your comic script is to keep the artist in mind! Yes, even if the artist is yourself! You want to write the script in a way that the artist will easily comprehend what needs to be shown in each panel and page.

The only channel that doesn't tell you what a script should definitely look like.

[@mysterious_monolith_]

Such great videos!

[@andrewdodd1918]

Not a bad train of thought. I noticed you use a brush, have you thought of trying out a Rigger instead? It gives you the same result but you have longer bristles that hold more ink for a longer line. As for plotting the comic, I think you covered most things. Perhaps you could suggest some books your viewers could back up this knowledge too. "Comics and Sequential Art" was my first.

[@ArtbyGalen]

Never used a rigger before. Any you recommend? I think a video about comic making resource books could be great!

[@mixedmedia_artist]

okay I'm the writer. I have the story, in book form. I also wrote a full detailed summary of what takes place in the story. Now I want to make those details a script. When creating a comic. Is it panels per page. Here you speak of pages. So I'm a little confuse. I'm not a comic artist. And most likely I'll have to hire an artist to help me draw the images.

Ive been writing my show on youmescript and i realized i wanted to make it a comic. I did not write it in panels in The script, so do you suggest i rewrite it like that? Its just a normal script with action, dialogue and scene headings and descriptions

[@ArtbyGalen]

I think you can probably take your current script and make a copy of it, then begin breaking it down into comic pages & then panels, depending on the important scenes. I won't say that it's 100% necessary to do, but I will say that it will make figuring the pages out visually a lot easier.

@@ArtbyGalen okay thank you
