Cartooning and comics are first and foremost a medium of visual storytelling. Whether you choose to create stories about superheroes, fantastic creatures, other planets, or the sandwich you made for lunch yesterday, comics give you as a creator complete control over the characters and worlds you create. In this class we will learn how to draw anything by starting with simple shapes, how to tell a story without words, character design (and what makes a character memorable), using panel and page composition to guide your readers’ eye, the importance of keeping a daily sketchbook practice, turning your ideas into comics, and much more. Work in class will be done with traditional materials (pen & ink, brush, and markers) and focus on foundational drawing skills as well as creative expression.
