#Sequential art classes how to#
In other words, it doesn't teach writing (like story, character, plot), and it doesn't teach drawing (like anatomy, composition, style), it teaches how to think about the words and the pictures so they serve the story you've brought or been given.

This course is self-guided but includes access to the SAW Mighty Network, an online gathering place for comics artists, writers and lovers.Īdditionally, Tom Hart posts frequent updates, challenges, ideas and exercises. Is this a self-guided course or is there a community aspect? I know where writers like you are coming from-and I know how to make the jump from prose to image.

Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home and Are You My Mother? And Art Spiegelman’s Maus come to mind.
Some of my favorite graphic novels and memoirs succeed on the power of their writing, with the images serving the ideas and story. � )w)���YԀ� k�p�щ�%Nu�� ����Yj:�b�"���u�s�&��� �%%�.� � �T�O�>���8�OlT�I��` �P� ��Ɣ'�L&۾-�6w�����QF$�:����.I'm Tom Hart, a New York Times #1 Bestselling graphic novelist who has been creating comics tirelessly since 1993.ĭespite my decades of drawing, it took me years to figure out that I'm a writer first, and now that I have, I have made it my passion to help people tell their stories.
