Illustrating Comics and Graphic Novels

Tutor to be Confirmed

A broad look at the different aspects involved in illustrating a comic or graphic novel. Through a series of workshops we will be exploring how to breakdown and draw from a script, page layout, timing and sequences, character generation, composition and body language. The course will also include a small amount of life drawing and will look at different genres, influential comics and creators. The course will be a good introduction for those who have an interest in creating graphic novels or drawing comics.
