Cartooning, Comics, Graphic Novels and Beyond for 11 to 15 Years Old Online Short Course

Course description

What are comics? What kinds of comics are there, and how do you start drawing one? In this course, you will master the basics of creating your own comics.

In session 1, you will learn more about features of comics as an art form, and will start developing your own visual story. In session 2, you will practice aspects of comic creation and look at pacing and panelling as your comic takes shape. In session 3, you will complete your comic, adding details, text and colour. The course outcome will be creating a complete short comic, which you can continue to expand in your own time. All artistic abilities are welcome.
