Two-panel black and white comic showing people seated at tables in an interior, then running as a wall collapses.

Storyboard Art Brief (2×2 Panels, Black & White) Format: One page, 2 rows × 2 columns (four equal quadrants). Thin, clean borders between panels. Outer border slightly thicker. Style: Hand-drawn, black & white. Simple, bold outlines. Minimal shading (1–2 gray tones). No textures, no fine detail, no photorealism. Figures: Silhouettes only (no faces). A special group of four characters always highlighted with darker fill and slightly thicker contour. They remain consistent across all panels (sometimes sitting, running, or standing). Door: Always drawn as a real door (door leaf, frame, handle). No labels/text. Intact in calm scenes. Broken/tilted in collapse scenes. Wall Holes & Debris: Wall openings filled in dark gray. Rocks/trümmer also dark gray. Use motion lines and arrows where action/reversal occurs. Panel 1 (Top Left) — Calm Starting Scene Two tables, one left, one right. Left table: 3 seated figures. Right table: the 4 highlighted silhouettes, seated. Background wall: two large openings, filled in dark gray. Right side: intact door, closed. Atmosphere: still, no motion lines. Panel 2 (Top Right) — Collapse / Action Same layout as Panel 1. The 4 highlighted silhouettes run toward the right (toward the door). Wall: openings have expanded. Heavy debris falls — from upper-left, upper-center, and upper-right. 1–2 large blocks, plus many smaller fragments. Door: collapsed and broken, tilted but still recognizable as a door. Action effects: Strong motion lines. Rock See more
