Description
Meet your teacher for the course, Alejandra Lunik. She tells you about her work, her influences, and other graphic humorists that inspire her to keep creating.
Learn about different types of humor and get some tips on where to find ideas for your comics, as well as how to put them down on paper.
Next, Alejandra shows you the most common formats for comics and shares her secrets to composition and character creation to help you build better stories.
Look at the tools and materials your teacher uses to bring her comics to life, then grab your own and get sketching. Scan it into Photoshop to do some retouching before moving on to the inking phase.
Now go back over your work in ink, add dialogue and color, and put the finishing touches on your drawing. As a last step, digitize your final art to share with the world.
