Telling a full story in the form of a single page comic can be exciting and extremely satisfying. In this online class, we’ll explore various ways of crafting a bit of flash fiction in just a single page of comics. Along the way, students will learn aspects of inking, coloring, writing dialogue, pacing, and more.

This class is designed for students who already have some basic comics-making skills.

Supplies: Paper, Pencil, Eraser, Ruler.
It is recommended that students also have their preferred inking and coloring supplies:
For Inking: Micron or Pitt Artist pens. Possibly dip pen holder and nibs + ink.

Students will have the option of sharing their work with the class on a private web page.
