Comic Fundamentals: From Panel to Finished Page
Comics live or die on layout clarity and visual storytelling. This class teaches how to arrange characters, settings, and dialogue within panels, choose the right tools for your style, and move a reader's eye through the story. You'll learn from professional examples and see a complete workflow: planning, sketching, inking.
The class works whether you draw traditionally or digitally—the principles of comic composition transcend medium. By the end, you'll have a finished comic that demonstrates both technical execution and narrative sense.
About this course
Explore the possibilities of comic art!
This class is a series of basic lessons to help you with arranging characters, settings, and speech bubbles inside a panel, selecting the right tools for your project, exploring style and illustrating stories. You'll find professional tips and advice from me, as well as examples from the amazing artists that have inspired my work over the years. After the lessons, we’ll start a class project that’ll lead you step-by-step through the creative process of planning, sketching and inking your own comic!
This class is accessible to artists working in digital and traditional mediums. I'm working in Clip Studio Paint for visual clarity.
