Hi! This is great stuff, thanks for share. Your last point got me thinking 🤔. In comic design what should guide the reader's eyes? Is the text (from your post seems like text could be important in that task), the panels, the action, everything together? How would you be sure that you're providing the right sequence despite of the format (comic or Manga)? Thanks 😊

You’re right that a lot can guide the readers eye beyond the text. I find that when creators aren’t thoughtful about text placement, it can lead to the most confusion. But poorly placed art certainly can too. I usually think plan the text and the art at the same time when even just doing thumbnail drawings since they need to work together—and text and speech bubbles take up a lot of room. Thanks for the question, Moyocoyani!
