Start simple, gather experience and slowly start experimenting.
For your first page layouts you should ask yourself these questions:
Which panel is the most important? Then plan your page around that - biggest - panel.
Always plan double spreads, not single pages. Readability comes first, being

So my first tip for this is just Read a Lot of Comics. have comics in your bookshelf (real or virtual) that you can flip through for inspiration and see how other artists are working and what/how they fit visuals into a panel. I read a lot of manga on my phone, and every time i see a page that--
Do you have any general tips on how to improve comic layouts/paneling? I want to start making proper comics but paneling is something I really struggle with (especially when it comes to making sure my sketch compilations fit the panel size while still being effective/showing everything I want)

"Portable vagina dentata burning man" is probably the most interesting thing I've heard about one of the Avatar movies.
To get a sense of Cameron’s dueling impulses, #AvatarFireAndAsh is the kind of movie where the set up of a pregnancy in the first act is inevitably delivered upon in the third.
But also the villain lives in what is best described as “portable vagina dentata burning man.”

I recently saw someone refer to “kill your darlings” as meaning to literally kill your characters in the narrative.
It means you have to be willing to let go of your favorite most precious Idea, because sometimes our First Ideas aren’t what’s best for our overall story.

No, Dick has it about right. Bruce Wayne can be a jerk at times that he has terrible people skills.

More traditional media experimentation! Watercolor, ink, color pencil, and a little bit of digital touchup.
