Comic templates to print
A 6-panel comic page to print
Six panels gives a story room to grow. Read it like a book: the top row left to right, then the bottom row. Three panels to start the trouble, three to get out of it.
A free printable 6-panel comic strip template: three panels across, two rows down, on one sideways page with a title line. Letter or A4. Free, nothing to sign up for, and nothing you draw ever leaves the paper.
How to use it
- Print the page sideways, at 100% size.
- Write your title and your name on the top line.
- Plan it in six words first: one word a panel, in pencil, small, in the corner.
- Draw the top row, then the bottom row, then add the words.
Peabody's tips
- Make panel 1 a wide look at the place, so a reader knows where we are.
- Panel 4 is a good spot for the biggest moment: it starts the bottom row.
- Leave a little sky above people's heads for the bubbles.
Printing it right
Pick the button for your paper. In the print box, keep the size at 100% (sometimes called “Actual size”), not “Fit to page”, so the panels come out the size they were drawn. The page is black lines on white, so a black-and-white printer is all you need, and it uses very little ink. Every line sits at least 0.4 inches from the edge, inside the part of the page that home printers can reach.
