NOTE: This class is full but I can do another one on one class at another time/day, please message me if you are interested. 


In this class the student will learn all aspects of putting together a comic book including the tools of the trade, how to make objects look 3d (shading), drawing in perspective, drawing comic book figures, drawing faces, comic book layout, drawing comic book covers, inking and more. 

This wil be very student led so if they prefer to just focus on marvel supheroes that's fine. However we can also look at DC comics, Biritsh comics (2000Ad for example), anime comics and graphic novels. Also if they would like to focus on a particular aspect of comic book drawing we can do that too. For instance if they are not interested in doing a comic book page we can just do portraits of their favourite comic book characters. Want to just do black and white drawing that's fine as well.

I will be screen sharing a large plug in digital tablet to teach which means students can clearly see what I am drawing. Also I can give advice if students wish to use a tablet (Ipad, Samsung etc) to learn on as they suit comic book drawing very well. 

So do you have to be good at drawing to start this class. Well obviously that would be great but no you don't have to be  a genius artist. This is an ongoing class and we have all the time needed to  focus on what they need to learn, wether that be drawing  faces, hands or getting the hang of perspective. Practice, in my opnion is the only way to improve. Practice, practice, practice and you will get there in the end. So the only thing you need for this class is a willingness to try and not give up :)
