Part Four: Create Visual Media

Plan story beats, panels, dialogue and continuity, then check reading order.

**Estimated time:** 10 minutes. **Last reviewed:** 11 August 2026.

## What you need to know

This page stands alone. No previous AI knowledge is required. You need access to an AI assistant only for the activity.

**Learning outcome:** By the end, you will create a panel plan that can be checked independently of finished artwork.

## The lesson

Write the purpose and action of every panel before generating artwork.

Use a stable character description and repeated visual anchors.

Request a panel-by-panel account rather than one general summary.

### Check the finished comic

- Are panels presented in the intended reading order?
- Are characters consistent across panels and pages?
- Does each panel show its intended story beat?
- Are speech bubbles attributed to the correct speaker?
- Is every word spelled correctly?
- Do props, positions or actions contradict the script?

## Worked example

A six-page comic about theatrical crime-fighting cats was generated from a written story and visual prompt. One model described each page; a second checked spelling and continuity and found two spelling errors. The second review turned “Does it look all right?” into specific, actionable information.

## Try it

Draft a three-panel story as numbered beats. Generate it, then request a panel-by-panel description with every piece of text transcribed. Use a second check for spelling and continuity.

## Checkpoint

The described sequence tells the intended story in the intended order, and you have recorded any uncertainty.
