Basics
We’ll start by briefly going over the history of comic books, publishing conventions, and learn the basic terminology we’ll be using throughout the course.

Comic Art Styles
After understanding the basics, we’ll go over approaches of different artists to handling individual elements of comic art, such as character, inking, panel layout, lettering and more.

Sequential Art Theory
Before making our own graphic novels, we’ll familiarize ourselves with with the theory behind the craft. Understanding closure & transitions, pacing, rhythm, pairing words and images, composition, clarity, readability, types of shots, and composing pages/spreads.

Pipeline
We’ll examine different ways a production can work, including planning our book with publishing in mind, how to mix traditional and digital media and how to work in a team vs. Solo.

Story
An overview of writing a story with the graphic novel format in mind. Characters, setting, story structure, script writing, and writing with drawing.

Drawing Traditionally / Digitally
Once we’re ready to get dirty, we’ll learn how to actually draw our pages, setting up a page, penciling, inking and coloring it, in both digital and traditional forms.

Publishing
Before wrapping up we’ll talk about getting a publisher, or how to self publish the book yourself. We’ll cover printing options, book design, distribution options and marketing strategy.

How much will it cost?
The course will launch at $97 for the first 3 days, and then the price will go up to $147 and will never drop again. You know the drill.

It will also be available as part of our Ultimate Package, which includes our entire course library, so if you already purchased that package you will get access to the course on launch day.
