Intermediate Level
In my 'Draw Like a Comic Book Artist' class, students will learn the fundamentals of comic art, including character design, dynamic poses, expressive faces, and storytelling through panels. Topics covered include creating action scenes, using perspective, developing unique characters, and crafting engaging visual narratives. The class is structured as a step-by-step guided drawing experience, where I demonstrate each technique live while students follow along. Each session focuses on a specific skill or theme, allowing learners to build their abilities progressively. My teaching style is engaging and interactive, incorporating storytelling, humor, and real-time demonstrations. I encourage questions and provide personalized feedback to ensure every student feels supported. Students will interact with me throughout the class via discussions, drawing critiques, and optional sharing of their work. Lessons may also include visual aids such as slides, sample comic panels, and occasional video clips to inspire and guide students. By the end of each session, learners will have a complete comic-style drawing and newfound confidence in their artistic skills.

Teacher expertise and credentials
North Carolina Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts
In my 'Draw Like a Comic Book Artist' class, I bring 15 years of experience as an art educator, a BFA in Art Education, and a Master’s in ESL/ELL. Fluent in Spanish, I have successfully taught all the lessons I offer on Outschool in person. These lessons are tried-and-true, refined over years of working with students of all ages and abilities. My teaching style combines step-by-step guidance, storytelling, and humor to create engaging and effective learning experiences. I also write and illustrate my own comic book, focusing on social-emotional learning and cultural topics for students, which I use as an example to guide learners. Whether teaching drawing techniques or creative concepts, I ensure every lesson is approachable, interactive, and designed to build confidence and skills.
In this class, students will learn how to create their own comic book art, from designing characters and scenes to telling stories visually. My students will work on building their comic drawing skills by following along with live demonstrations and engaging in discussions about comic book storytelling techniques. By the end of the course, they will have a deeper understanding of comic art, as well as a completed drawing to show off!Reviews
