ILLUS-2121: Tools: Comics

Course Description

This course will explore each phase of comic arts development and creation, in the form of three short-length projects. The first project will ask you to create a one page, four panel self-portrait comic, using the basic mechanics of sequential narrative design. The second will ask you to adapt a pre-existing "text" into a four page comic. The final project will ask you to write and illustrate your own original story, in the same four page format. Each project will feature a cycle of smaller assignments that focus on the following parts of comics creation: research, brainstorming, scriptwriting, character/concept design, thumbnails, pencils, inks, lettering and finally, colors/gray tones.
