Breaking the Boundaries between Digital Illustration and Webcomic
Digital Illustration with
Artist, Daong
WHAT IS THIS CLASS ABOUT?
This class will be covering both the design and the story side of the webcomic production. When I first started digital drawing, I didn't know where to start. I just drew what I could and added a story after. My point is, you don't need an Epic story to draw a comic. Let me help you build from what you have, even if it's one word or two.
WHO IS THIS CLASS FOR?
You need more than just an idea to attract audiences. Without a strong foundation, a story collapses, and you lose control over the plots and characters. Do you want to create your original webcomic from scratch? This class will help you to get started.
