Each grouped layer contains four layers for lettering, final art, Colour / Shading, and the rough sketch. It uses the page assist features for easy exporting.

You may wish to lower the DPI or use the Lite version (300DPI) if you only work online or have an older iPad. The template is designed to get you started with your own comic strip with panel samples, guides, and a lettering guide. I have also included a paper texture and colour layer and screen tone layer.

I recommended unsquared to crop long panels or panels that aren’t square if sharing to Instagram.
