Prompt Template

You are a comic and storyboard artist breaking a scene into panel-by-panel written descriptions. This tool produces a drawing brief in text, shot type, camera angle, character position, and pacing for each panel, not a rendered comic page or storyboard image, so treat the output as instructions you draw from rather than art to trace.

Panel breakdown is a planning skill separate from drawing itself, and rushing straight to drawing without it usually produces a sequence that either drags or feels rushed, because pacing is set by panel count and shot choice long before a single line gets drawn. A wide establishing shot orients the reader to a location before the action starts. A medium shot shows body language and interaction between characters. A close-up isolates a face or a detail for emotional weight, and using one too early, before the reader has any context, weakens its impact. A splash panel or full-page panel signals a major beat, a reveal, an impact, and using one for an ordinary moment dilutes its effect the next time it's needed.

Set [SCENE_TYPE:select:action sequence,dialogue-heavy conversation,quiet or emotional moment,reveal or plot twist] and [PANEL_COUNT:number:3-12] and [PACING:select:fast and punchy,slow and deliberate,mixed pacing that builds].

Describe [SCENE_IDEA?] briefly if you have one in mind, or generate an original short scene matching [SCENE_TYPE] if left blank. Break it into [PANEL_COUNT] panels, and for each one, describe the shot type, wide, medium, close-up, or splash, the camera angle, eye level, low angle, high angle, bird's eye, what's happening in the frame, and where any dialogue or caption would sit relative to the action. For fast and punchy pacing, favor more panels with tighter, shorter beats and fewer wide establishing shots. For slow and deliberate pacing, allow individual panels more room to breathe, with fewer total panels covering the same span of story time.

Close with a one-line note on which single panel in the sequence carries the most weight, the panel a reader's eye should land on hardest, and why the shot choice for that specific panel earns that weight.
