This course trains participants to tell stories through simple drawings and words.

This is a 2-part course and this is the 2nd class. In this class, participants will:

Learn to draw simple backgrounds in 3 simple ways.
Learn how to make their characters stand out against the background.
Learn to use cropping to enhance their story.
Understand how to use eyeflow to compose their panels.
Learn to tell a short complete story all in one comic page.

With this skill they will be able to record stories from their daily life and from their imagination, and also be able to share these stories with others.

This class is slightly more intermediate as you will already need to know how to draw characters (covered in part 1 of the course). However, drawing styles will still be kept very simple, but will be flexible enough to allow for more complex expressions for those with more drawing experience.

The materials chosen for this class are also kept simple. We'll use mainly pencil and color pencil. However, you may use a pen if you feel more confident.
