Create graphic novels with AI using ChatGPT NotebookLM from script development to visual style and print preparation
This course shows you how to turn a rough idea into a full graphic novel with the help of AI. You’ll use ChatGPT and NotebookLM as practical tools, not magic tricks, to plan your story, write a script and create the visuals—even if you don’t draw.
You start by working with ChatGPT to shape your idea: brainstorming, building characters, and turning your notes into page and panel layouts that actually feel usable. After that, you choose how your comic should look. You’ll experiment with prompts to develop characters, settings and a visual style you can stick with.
Then you move everything into NotebookLM, which can turn your script and reference images into simple storyboard-style slides. From there, you’ll tweak scenes, clean up dialogue, fix odd details and play with color or style changes using AI image editing.
To wrap up, you’ll bump your images to print-friendly quality and set up a custom assistant that helps you turn new story ideas into graphic‑novel scripts without starting from scratch. It’s a hands-on course for anyone who wants to experiment with visual storytelling using AI tools.

What's included in this course?
You’ll learn how to take loose ideas or rough stories and shape them into clear, workable scripts for graphic novels using ChatGPT. Along the way you’ll try out different ways of brainstorming, shaping plots, building characters, and laying out pages and panels so each scene actually says something on the page.
You’ll also figure out how to give your project its own visual voice, describe styles and characters for AI image tools, and move everything into NotebookLM to draft the first graphic version of your story. From there you’ll fine‑tune the writing and artwork, fix small quirks, play with alternate looks, sharpen images for printing, and set up a custom assistant that takes care of the repetitive work in future comics.

Curso muy ilustrativo, en el sentido literal y figurado: Se aprende a hacer ilustraciones con IA y las explicaciones son muy esclarecedoras. Revisé de manera rápida los videos y vi que contienen mucha información de manera condensada. Me estoy regresando uno a uno para repasarlos con detenimiento. Estoy interesada en crear pequeñas novelas gráficas o cuentos. Excelente material. Gracias.
