FREE Comic Layout Templates with Golden Ratio Layer for Procreate (iPad)

The awesome new Layer Group feature is a huge improvement for creating comic strips as well as page and panel layouts in Procreate. For my personal and professional work I created some layout templates for comics, mangas and graphic novels.

You can download them for free via gumroad.com/georgvw or sellfy.com/georgvw.

The Procreate file (4947 x 3249 px) with 3 layers in a “LAYOUTS” group is great for:

  • Comic PAGES (e.g. graphic novels) use blue grid and portrait orientation
  • Comic STRIPS (e.g. newspaper strips) use red grid and landscape orientation

Both layout layers are transparent and can be used with the GOLDEN RATIO template I added on a separate layer. It’s very helpful to create harmonic page layouts and pleasing panel compositions :-)

TIPS:

  • For drawing clean, straight panel borders I recommend using the QuickLine or Streamline features (see Procreate handbook).
  • Keep your panels in separate folders. Use sub folders for text and speech bubbles. This allows you to easily drag around and rearrange your panel layouts.

I hope you’ll find the templates useful and wish you lots of fun with them!
