Peoria Art Guild

Artistic Storytelling: Comics and Manga

Instructor: Maggie Grugan

Department: Grand Prairie

Have you been inspired by comics? Whether it’s a Garfield comic strip or the world of Marvel, comics are one of the most expressive forms of storytelling. In this class we’ll begin building up your world, which could be fantasy, sci-fi, reality, anything you choose! We’ll continue with fundamentals of comic creation such as composition, inking, character design, etc. Our end goal is to create your character reference, as well as one full page of your comic.
