COMIC TECHNIQUE COURSE
WITH ARTIST/ILLUSTRATOR SEAN PRYOR
A good comic book has the potential to change the world. Ever wonder how a creator could put together one or many pieces of art that form a story that is not only clear to follow and entertaining, but also has the capacity to change a reader’s life?
Learn how in the Comic Technique course, where we go over the process of visual storytelling. Students will learn such things as anatomy, perspective, determining light sources, inking, color theory, and last but not least, how to put all these skills together into a narrative that can give the creator a new way to express themselves as an artist.
Students will learn the fundamentals of anatomy, perspective, light sourcing, and color theory while also learning how to write a story using sequential narrative in order to make a clearly read and entertaining comic.
For all ages 10 & up.
Sean’s career had landed him working with cultural luminaries such as Harvey Pekar, Blondie, and Weird Al Yankovic. Some of the work from those previously mentioned has gone on to in some cases be a NY Times instant best seller (Face It by Debbie Harry) and others recieving an Eisner nomination (The Illustrated Al by Alfred Yankovic). His art has appeared in such press outlets as the New York Times, Juxtapoz Magazine, and MTV.com
