If you ever wanted to make your comics look more movie-like, with interesting camera angle and such. It can seem complicated if you've ever attempted it. But if you know what to look out for, and combined with a simple process, anyone can learn to do it!

Welcome to the 4th class in the Telling Stories with Comics series where we will learn to draw a movie-like dramatic conversation scene.

Learn about the importance of establishing shots and how to use them in a scene with the other shots.
Learn how to draw various kinds of establishing shots.
Learn how to draw various kinds of crops with movie-like camera angles for conversation scenes.
Learn the comics creation process of writing the dialogue and using a thumbnail, before drawing and coloring.

With the skills you learn in this class, you'll gain more confidence in drawing comics about daily life or imagination, and also make it look more cinematic!

This is an intermediate level class which builds on the previous 3 classes in the series so going through the earlier 3 classes is recommended:)

The materials needed for this class are still simple ones - mainly pencil, color pencil, and eraser. However, you may use a pen if you feel more confident. Or an iPad or any other materials you are more comfortable with!
