Drawing Comics

Learn how to draw comics
Jake Parker has been creating comics professionally for over 10 years. From his own studies, insight from peers and mentors, and material from the best books on the subject he boils everything he’s learned about the art form into one class.

This class is broken down in two parts:

Part I – Instruction
In this section Jake goes point by point in a methodical, easy to understand, lecture style on the principles of making comics that effectively tell your story and elicit an emotional response from the reader.

Part II – Demonstration
In this section Jake creates a comic from the ground up, and shows how to apply the principles taught in part I to create your own comic.

How panel to panel action works, and how to get your story to flow seamlessly
