More About Comic Drawing | Workshop Intensive | Intermediate
Dynamic Panels, Perspective and Inking
Designed specifically for adults who already have a foundation in drawing, this intensive, 4-hour workshop will guide students as they story board, draw and ink a two page comic book spread.
First, students will do a quick character sheet to warm up. Then the instructor will give an overview of 1, 2 and 3 point perspective.
Next an open ended scenario for their character to storyboard is used as the jumping off point for learning about pacing, composition of panels, and completing a story arc. Students will be encouraged to include perspective, differing view points and a variety of value and tone in their panels. Learn how to recuperate from mistakes and boldly bring their characters to life!
We will also be using traditional tools of the trade such as non-photo copy blue pencils and dip-ink pens on comic book Bristol board as well as microns and white-out when needed. By completing a "slice of life" short story arc for your character you will gain insight on how to carry this process forward for more in-depth stories you have been dreaming of creating but were too overwhelmed to get started.
Instructor will provide guidance, encouragement and introduce you to resources that can help you on your comic or graphic novel journey!
Materials: All supplies are provided by HCA. However, you are welcome to bring your own materials; a suggested supply list is available on our website.
