Make a small comic from an everyday process where the sequence already supplies a beginning, complication, and ending. Gather paper, a pencil, a pen, and a ruler.
Set it up
Divide the page into four panels and choose a modest subject such as searching for a pen or assembling a flat box.
Put the idea to work
Sketch the setup, the small problem, an attempted solution, and the final result using simple figures and clear gestures.
Finish and keep it useful
Add only the words the pictures cannot explain, then read the panels in order to check that the action makes sense. Avoid crowding every panel with dialogue when a single visible object could carry the same information.
Which ordinary task has the small complication your four-panel comic needs?
