ART WITH AN ACADEMIC TWIST - COMIC BOOK STUDIO

Youth learn the basics of comic book and graphic novel design, story structure, page composition, pacing, materials, techniques, character design, environmental drawing, and comic production! Youth also learn about the industry as a whole, how to format a script and the pros and cons of self-publishing! The Comics Art studio allows youth to go from aspiring artists to published cartoon artists, comic book writers, webtoon artists/animators, and graphic novelists.
