Join bestselling cartoonist and super-experienced tutor James on Zoom for another awesome 10 week course in comic art! Each Thursday at 10am, I’ll be guiding you through all the essential tricks required to create amazing comics: Storytelling techniques, character design, sequencing, movement, setting, mood, speech, sound, lettering, costume, clarity of communication, and more! High energy fun and creativity is guaranteed!
If you attended the previous comic courses – these workshops will be totally fresh! Where we cover similar territory as before it will be with a completely different approach… For example, a different set of faces/expressions and moods… or a different set of dynamic expressive poses, exploring a different front cover composition, a different kind of comic strip story with a different ‘classic’ narrative type etc! The spectrum of drawing and storytelling skills of the young artists will be infinitely broadened to the farthest limits of the imagination!!!
This is an example course structure to give an idea of how things run, but will change according to the whim’s of the artists’ imaginations! Please take note of the dates n times of the workshops, the mid-course break, and no workshop on 6th March due to World Book Day Week (Comic Club is always fully booked by schools this week).
