 Goals of the class;

To teach you to create 25 comics and to make it into a business along the way so that you can make money in college or after it.

Week by week efforts;

basic art and drafting lessons as many people don't know how to draw. This course teaches the bare bones you gonna need to map your series out which will help you the artist or the artist you hire to craft your vision.

Learn to create your own idea database and create many ideas necessary to finish the course. This is more short form ideas.

Create your own conflagration aka you gotta create even more works in written form.

Draw a one shot like I did with Forge. This is not my method per say but it's a means to create comics none the less. This comic must be done without a script. Just imagine the comics you created a child. It's to tap into that as a skill. It can be a method itself but that is for later. Exam 1
