Using Skills for Manga Storyboard Creation, This Workflow Is More Capable Than I Expected

So I tried using Skills to make a storyboard for a comic-style animation, and honestly, it totally changed how I feel about AI doing storyboard layouts. Before, I had to generate each frame manually one by one—keeping character consistency and shot logic all on me, which was a huge time sink and super easy to mess up. This time, I broke down the storyboard rules, character settings, and camera language into reusable Skills, and let it auto-lay out the storyboard based on the script.

The coherence of the main subject and shot transitions was way better than just using raw prompts. The best part is it remembers character traits—throughout an entire scene, the characters barely drifted.

Of course, complex camera moves and emotional details still need manual touch-ups, but having the most tedious storyboard skeleton built first makes the later refinement process way more efficient. If you’re into continuous storytelling, definitely worth giving this approach a shot.

The character not drifting around is a total game-changer. That’s the worst part about making continuous storylines.

Breaking the rules down into reusable modules—that’s the way to go.

Mark, I was just thinking about making a manga-style comic.

Automated storyboard skeleton + manual fine-tuning, the layers are really clean.

Nice! It saves the most tedious part.

I believe in skeleton automation, but character consistency drifts a bit over a long run, after a dozen or so frames still need to go back and check
