Step-by-step: Additional tips and what to look out for when placing panels

1 Angles are important when asserting dominating subjects and can help with deciding panel sizes. If a character is in a more confident position, they would get a bigger panel as opposed to a figure who’s in a more vulnerable position.

Speech bubbles also affect the composition of 2 the image, and their shape affects the tone that viewers will read your characters voice in. Take note of how the different shapes and placements would affect how your entire page looks as a whole.
