Comic Book Art Class

Create Your Own Comic Book Characters

Visualize and develop an original character design in this 4-week course. From sketches to final drawings, you will learn the process of creating a comic book character and building a "model sheet." Learn about drawing figures in motion, costume design, maintaining consistency in appearance and more. Students may choose to bring a written script and design the characters and environments for the different scenes in the story. The goal of the course is to leave with fully realized characters ready for the next step to bringing your comic book to life.
