Each student will create a 3 to 5 -page comic during the course of the workshop. Each week will focus on a different aspect of creation.
Week 1 - Storyboarding / Writing the Comic
Week 2 - Designing the Environment and Characters for your comic.
Week 3 - Inking/Coloring, Color Theory. Week 4 - Finalizing. “Keeping the creative juices flowing is important,” noted Sneddon. “Once (home)school is finished for the year, my regular students will be eager to continue
our work together in some fashion, and I’ll be eager to share with them the process and techniques I use in my own creative work.
“Plus, this virtual workshop may give new students an opportunity to explore an area of art they have not yet developed,” he concluded.
