Proko – Creating a Comic Page

Title: Proko – Creating a Comic Page by David Finch

Description
In this course you’ll get an entire overview of how to make a finished comic page from scratch! You’ll learn about the different stages that it takes to make a comic starting with reading and interpreting the script, to layout and design and finishing with all the details that will make your comic fun to read. I’ll also have lessons on learning crosshatching that you can apply to your project. My goal with this course is give you all the info that you’ll need to make your own comic pages that will be on par with what the pros put out.

New lessons will be released on a bi-weekly schedule.
