Create a Comic in 15 Minutes with Midjourney – A Step‑by‑Step Guide

Introduction

Midjourney can help you create a short comic in just 15 minutes, even if you have no design experience.

Part 1 – Define the Story

Choose a simple plot to illustrate; the example uses a tongue‑in‑cheek story “a prince hides his identity and falls for a village girl.” Break the story into a few storyboard frames and show the reference images.

Part 2 – Generate Visual Assets with Midjourney

Determine the required assets: an exterior castle, an interior castle, a male character, and a female character, each with multiple expressions.

2.1 Process the Male Character

Search for reference comic characters (e.g., Disney style) on Huaban, then let Midjourney learn the style and generate a set of images covering different emotions. Use

/describe

to turn a reference image into a prompt.

After obtaining satisfactory results, remove the white background with a free tool such as remove.bg and export each expression as a PNG.

2.2 Process the Female Character

Reuse the male‑character prompt, replace the keyword “man” with “young woman,” optionally adjust clothing colors, then generate and cut out the images in the same way.

2.3 Generate Castle Backgrounds

Keep the style keywords from the character prompts and replace only the subject word with “castle” (exterior or interior). Generate the images and remove their backgrounds as needed.

Part 3 – Assemble the Comic

With all assets ready (total preparation time about ten minutes), arrange the panels using any design tool—Photoshop, Sketch, Figma, or a mobile collage app such as Jianpin. No detailed assembly instructions are needed for professionals.

The result is a complete short comic ready for sharing.
