How can I create a sense of intimacy between characters in my comic?

Use close-up panels to focus on their expressions and interactions. Employ off-panel elements – show their reactions to something happening outside the frame. Use visual metaphors like shared glances, body language, and symbols. Consider using lighting to create a sense of intimacy – soft, diffused light is often more romantic than harsh light. Small details, like a shared laugh or a comforting touch, can make a big difference.
