In this class, students illustrate their own comics or cartoons featuring superheroes, manga style, or fantasy.. Starting with pencil, students will design their page and transfer it to special blue-line board before adding dimension with inking. Finally, students will photocopy their page and add color with special watercolor dyes, creating their very own finished comic page. Repeat students are encouraged!
*Student must be within the age range of 10-16.
