Comicsmith

Comicsmith is a complete planning workspace for comic authors, graphic novel artists and webtoon creators. Everything a long visual story needs to stay organised lives in one place: page layouts, panel breakdowns, character files, plot structure, issue schedules and lettering plans. STUDIO BOARD Build your comic page by page. Choose from twelve panel layouts, from a classic nine panel grid to a splash page, a double page spread or a vertical webtoon strip. Every panel gets its own card for the action, shot size, camera angle, dialogue, sound effect and art note. A contact sheet view shows the whole issue at a glance, and a reading flow tool traces the path a reader's eye takes across the page so you can spot problems before you draw a single line. STORY BIBLE Keep your cast consistent. Every character gets a file with role, appearance, personality, motivation and arc, backed by a proportion guide for redrawing them the same way every time. Map alliances, rivalries and family ties on a relationship chart. Break your plot into acts and beats, mark turning points and cliffhangers, and record the places, factions and rules of your world so continuity never drifts between issues. PRODUCTION DESK Ship on schedule. Plan issues with page counts and deadlines, watch the countdown to the next delivery, and follow every page through thumbnails, pencils, inks, colors, lettering and export. Plan text density before you ink with the lettering tool and balloon placement patterns. Look up trim, bleed and resolution for print, manga and vertical formats. Estimate how many pages a story will need, track covers and title pages, log releases and read your pace on clear production charts. COMICS ACADEMY Learn the craft as you work. Twelve lessons across three levels cover panels and gutters, page reading order, composition, camera angles, lettering, pacing, splash pages, color atmosphere, long form structure and publishing. Each lesson ends with a five question test that unlocks progress and lifts your competency radar. A daily exercise keeps a practice streak going, and a reference of more than two hundred terms explains the vocabulary of the medium. FULLY OFFLINE No account, no subscription, no internet connection. Your work stays on your device, and every tool is available the moment you open the app. Designed for both iPhone and iPad.
