In addition to using actual Dog Man book pages, I will create a brand new Dog Man Comic as a reference for the students using a Wacom Cintiq Drawing Tablet. 

I will provide original page outlines, Dog Man Comic warmups, and examples available to download. I will display The Cat Kid Comix Club book from my Kindle as a reference and share additional proven storytelling methods.   

I may send additional recorded lessons sharing my process with certain comic-creating aspects. I am free to communicate via classroom messages for questions, reference ideas, and resources. 

This class is about drawing and illustrating our own unique stories based on the Dog Man universe. Students should be prepared to draw and write every class, but sharing their work is always optional. Students are responsible for coloring their comics, making edits, and finishing pages we do not complete during class. I will share a digital copy of my Dog Man comic created during the course, and whether the students create a 3-page or 12-page book in our six weeks, they can do the same with parent/guardian permission. 

I'm excited to make Dog Man Comics with everyone can't wait to see the incredible stories we create!
