Put on your DIY hat! In this weekend crash course, we’ll create a mini comic from start to finish.
Bring your inner-child. Together, we'll develop characters, storylines, and create artwork for sequential panels along with learning penciling and inking techniques. There’s a lot of material for discussion.
Some ability to draw and familiarity with basic tools is required, and we'll post the final comics online. For the first day of class, please bring a one-page short story that will be the basis for your comic.
