Your hand-drawn draft must include: at least three pages and 18 panels (6 per page), including all characters (as stick-figures), all bubbles (speeches and thoughts) and narrative boxes and words.
The placement and size of your panels, characters, bubbles and words should be determined very carefully.
Keep the gutters (i..e, the space between panels) small. The panels should fill up the page.
Remember: your story needs to be word-focused, not image- or action-focused. Nearly every panel must include words in thought or speech bubbles or in narrative boxes.
