How to Make a Comic Book (Project-Centered Course)

Finish a comic, not just a sketch

This is a project course: the outcome is an original four-page minicomic built around a short story you choose. That structure keeps the focus on completing a whole piece rather than practicing isolated panels.

Who it is for

• Learners aged 13 and above who have never finished a comic
• Writers who want to test a story in visual form
• Artists who want a complete project for their portfolio

Getting ready

The course recommends a set of materials, though comics can be made with almost any kind. Gather your supplies before starting, and settle on a story idea early, because that choice shapes every page that follows.
