Well, I'd recommend looking at some comics you really like and try to glean how the author uses the panel layout to communicate. You know, how they use panel size and spacing to convey time? The larger the panel the longer we stay on it, so you can use those for establishing shots or really important moments. Smaller panels are shorter moments in time.

Consider rhythm and flow when making your layout, how you want your reader to be led through the page and how long do you want them to stay on each part. Also, plan your speech bubbles along with your sketches, you would not believe how many times I drew myself into a corner because I didn't account for speech bubbles when laying my panels

Finally, try to develop your pages at some even pace, like get your sketches fleshed out before you start inking, and color once you're done inking. That way you'll manage a more consistent style throughout the whole thing. I did that for those 6 illustrations I did last quarter and it helped keep a good quality level between them.

That's what I can think off the top of my head. If you have any more questions don't hesitate on dropping me a comment or note, I'm always glad to help

Best of luck!
