About the Course:

Every week will deal with a different aspect of the comic book-making process.

We will go over basic concepts in the history of comics, script writing, basic drawing skills, panel continuity, character design, penciling, inking, lettering, cover art, and other stuff too.

The final project is to MAKE your own 12-page comic book. There will be short 1-page assignments throughout the semester. These will be intermittent and painless, we promise.

Class meets once a week, for 90 minutes. The first half hour will be lecture/discussion, with the rest of the time opening up for working on your comic and getting peer input. The idea is to create a friendly environment where aspiring comic book writers/artists can share their cool ideas with each other and bring an idea to fruition.

Also, this class has optional readings that will be made available at Comic Relief for a discount price.

How to Enroll:

Update: the first day is NEXT Wednesday, January 24th. We also have a room number: 185 Barrows.

Show up on the first day. We’ll accept 30 people by way of random lottery.

It will be preferable if you have some kind of writing/drawing experience, but please don’t be discouraged if you have no experience at all. We all have to start somewhere, right?

You are certainly welcome to bring a portfolio if you wish, but getting into the class does NOT require art samples or an application. Showing up on the first day shall suffice, and all questions will be answered.

Please don’t send us emails asking for the CCN.
