How to make a comic with AI

A comic is written before it is drawn. This walkthrough follows one idea all the way through ReadKidz in four short parts — the story and its page-by-page plan, the single art style that holds every page together, the pages themselves with their panels and speech boxes, and what you can do with the finished thing.

Part 1

Write the story

Type one sentence, let Pudding write the whole story, then ask for any change before a single page is drawn.

Read the steps
  1. Type your idea A comic starts with one line. Say who it is about and what happens to them — one sentence is enough, and pasting a longer piece works too.
  2. Genre, age, page shape Choose the kind of story, the reading age, and the shape of the page. All of it is optional, then press Start creating.
  3. The story comes first The whole story is written before anything is drawn — cast, scenes and dialogue. Drawing is where the cost sits, so the words come first and stay cheap to change.
  4. Story and page plan Your story arrives with a page-by-page plan beside it: how many pages it becomes, and roughly how many panels each page holds.
  5. Ask for a change Not right yet? Ask in plain words. Only the part you asked about is rewritten, and the story stays editable right up until the first picture is drawn.

Part 2

Choose the look

Pick one art style for the whole comic, and see exactly what it will look like before you commit to it.

Read the steps
  1. See the look first Every style is a real art family, not a filter. The preview shows a scene and a character already drawn in it, so you are choosing from the finished thing rather than a name.
  2. One look, every page Choose it once and it holds front to back — same faces, same world, page after page. Committing to the style is also what sets your pages up to be laid out.

Part 3

Draw the pages

Pages are laid out and drawn one at a time, each carrying the cast and places that keep it consistent with the rest.

Read the steps
  1. Panels and speech boxes Each page is drawn as a real comic page: panels laid out across it, with speech and caption boxes set into the art rather than pasted on top.
  2. Why nobody changes face Every page carries its own materials — the characters, the outfit each one wears on that page, and the place they stand in. That is what keeps them recognisable from page to page.
  3. Fix one page by asking Something off in a panel? Open the page, paint over the part you mean, and say what to change. Only that page is redrawn — the rest of the comic is untouched.

Part 4

Read it and take it

Read the finished comic the way a reader will, then export the pages or turn the whole thing into a video.

Read the steps
  1. Read it through When it is done, read it end to end — scrolling straight through, or one page at a time.
  2. Take it with you Export the pages as files, or turn the whole comic into a video with narration, effects and music.

Questions about making a comic

Do I have to write the story myself?

No. One sentence about who it is and what happens is enough — the full story, its cast and its page-by-page plan come back from that. You can also paste a story you have already written.

Can I change the story after it is written?

Yes. Ask for a change in plain words and only the part you asked about is rewritten. The story stays editable right up until the first picture is drawn.

How do the characters stay the same across pages?

Each page carries its own materials — the characters, the outfit each one wears on that page, and the place they stand in. Pages are drawn from those, which is why a character still looks like themselves ten pages later.

What if one panel comes out wrong?

Open that page, paint over the part you mean, and say what to change. Only that page is redrawn; every other page stays exactly as it was.

What can I do with the finished comic?

Read it end to end in the reader, export the pages as files, or turn the whole comic into a video with narration, effects and music.

Start with one line.

Say who the comic is about and what happens to them. The story comes back before anything is drawn.
