Making Comics from Idea to Print Part II

Making Comics from Idea to Print Part II

Presented by Pterodactyl Philadelphia at Pterodactyl Philadelphia

October 14-November 4, 2009

In this two part, eight week course students will learn how to write, draw, and self publish their own mini comic. Students will create their own characters and story to illustrate in different dynamic comic book techniques. At the end of the course all comics will be collected into a class anthology. Aside from the basics writing and drawing skills for comics there will be daily drawings games to pique the interests of the students like comic jams, drawing from a written description, and parody comics. Guest comic creators will make appearances talking about individual techniques and comic skills. Students will also learn various comic book formats that will fit to each student's personal choice, as well as different folding and bookmaking techniques for their final product. The second half of the class will guide students in the drawing process. In the second 4 weeks, students will lay out their book structure and learn examples of dynamic poses and panels. There will be demos inscanning and formatting in Photoshop, in laying out pages for print and Xerox machine use as well as different book making and folding techniques.
