Learn how to design a complete comic page with a cinematic, adult tone by combining artificial intelligence and professional layout in Adobe Photoshop.
You will begin by planning the page structure, panel composition and visual rhythm, using a Watchmen-style reference. You will work in ChatGPT to write advanced prompts that define characters, lighting, atmosphere, proportions and orientation of each panel, ensuring consistent design across the whole comic.
Then you will generate the illustrations in Nano Banana Pro, refine them in Photoshop, clean borders, remove watermarks and crop every image to precise sizes. You will mount the page using smart objects, guides, strokes, masks and non-destructive transformations so the artwork maintains quality for print and digital publishing.
Finally, you will focus on lettering and visual storytelling. You will create narrator boxes and speech balloons with vector shapes, use the Pen tool to build custom balloons, align them with panel borders using layer masks and choose free comic fonts that integrate text naturally into the artwork.
This course is ideal for illustrators, comic artists and graphic designers who want to integrate AI into their workflow without losing narrative control or visual coherence.
