The materials required depends on what the learner would be doing.
Would they be doing their artwork on paper? Or on the computer?

𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱:
✓ Paper 📃
✓ Pencils and Erasers ✏️
✓ Fine Point & ultra-fine point permanent markers or 🖊️Sharpies 
✓ Computer, tablet, Chromebook, or laptop to edit their artwork on.
      📢 Please install Zoom on the same device as the art software being used. 
            That way the instructor will be able to see what the student is doing and be able to help the student,
            if he or she is having any difficulties.
✓ Scanner or Camera
      If you don't have a scanner, there are special apps for Smartphones and Tablets that can make your device act like a scanner.
      The one that I use and recommend is called 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿.
      Here is a video on YouTube about the program: https://youtu.be/qU0ODdGwWX8
✓ Photoshop (or Photopea) is recommended for the editing, coloring, and layout.
      If Photoshop isn’t an option for you...
      A Photoshop alternative that I would recommend is called Photopea, which is a 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 online-based app, and can be found here:
      https://www.photopea.com  
     If the student has a different program that they are already familiar with and wish to use for the class, feel free to check with me

𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱:
✓ A device with a touch screen that the student can draw on. 
✓ A stylus to draw on the device. 
      If you are using an iPad, the stylus used for drawing is called the "Apple Pencil". 
      There are also cheap apple pencil clones that you can get. But they don't have all the features (like pressure sensitivity) 
      that the regular iPad Pencil has. Here is a link to one of the pencil clones:

✓ Art software to do the artwork on. 
      If the student has a program they are already familiar with, they can use that program. 
      If they don't have an art program to use, I would recommend 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗸 𝗦𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸, which has a lot of great drawing tools.
      Photoshop and Photopea would also work.
✓ 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 or 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮 for doing layout.
      Students are required to do layout. I can do it for them. But I recommend that trying it out, to get an idea on what its like.

𝙊𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙡𝙨:
✓ Comic Books (For examples and ideas on a comic story can be laid out.)         
✓ Printer with Printer Paper  

Please be sure all comic stories are school appropriate for young audiences. I cannot allow any content with nudity, violence, profanity, or adult content into the classroom.

I have questions from parents, asking how much violence is acceptable.
I try to keep the comic book rated E-7, which is for everyone 7 and up (similar to a TV-Y7 film rating). A good example of action cartoon that is rating for 7-year-olds and older is "Batman the Animated series". The cartoon has guns, but no one is seen getting hit... In one episode Commissioner Gordon gets shot, but its offscreen and we find him later in the hospital recovering. Characters can get hurt, but its bruises and scratches with only drops of blood. And if a character dies, the character dies off screen. (Here is a sample video from the show: https://youtu.be/sT43MClzowM)

As the comic books will be published in actual comic book stores and other places, I also cannot allow comics with characters copyrighted by someone else. No Mickey Mouse, Avengers, Superman, Batman, etc. (Unless its a parody of those characters.)

I've also had questions from parents if their children keep the rights to their creations, and if they are allowed to sell the comic books that they receive. I don't keep any rights for the kids creations, except for the permission to use in the comic magazine (as stated in this listing). The type of rights that I have is basically that of a non-exclusive license agreement, where I have permission to use the student's comics in my magazine and that's it... The learners still have all the rights to whatever they want with their comics. (If parents are interested would like to get a copyright for their child's creation, let me know and I can assist them with that.)

Feel free to message me if you have any questions.
