Designed for adults with a foundation in drawing, this intensive 4-hour workshop takes you through the process of creating a two-page comic book spread from start to finish.
Begin with a character warm-up and an introduction to 1-, 2-, and 3-point perspective. Then, using an open-ended story prompt, explore storyboarding, pacing, panel composition, perspective, value, tone, and storytelling techniques as you bring your character to life.
Work with traditional comic-making tools, including non-photo blue pencils, dip-ink pens, Microns, and Bristol board. By completing a short “slice of life” story arc, you’ll gain the skills and confidence to tackle your own comics or graphic novel ideas.
Materials: All supplies are provided by HCA, or you’re welcome to bring your own. A suggested supply list is available below.
