What Artists Are Saying
"I Saw Results In Just Months"
After not drawing for 20 years, I found Clayton Barton's How To Draw Comics Academy. In just four months I have seen results in my drawing that have inspired me to continue to develop as an artist. If you follow the program, do the practice, and attend the live sessions with Clayton, I promise you will see results in your artwork that will amaze you.
James Fondren ★★★★★
"One-of-a-kind"
These classes have rekindled my excitement to draw. Having access to live demos and days worth of video content plus a community who takes their progression seriously is no joke. This sounds like an ad, but I swear this is the best value I've found in learning figure drawing. You just don't get this kind of experience with anything you buy anymore. One-of-a-kind.
Brent Woodroof ★★★★★
"This is Where It's At"
The How to Draw Comics Academy is where it's at. Clayton changed how I looked at my approach to drawing everything. From the fundamentals of shape and form, all the way to composition and execution, Clayton as an instructor really laid it out for me. I was really impressed by it all. His instruction changed my world, that's why I'm here recommending the Academy.
Ed Foychuk ★★★★★
"Life Changing"
Being able to see someone critique you and give you pointers on moving forward with your art is so life changing. The Academy gives me insight into what I may or may not be doing wrong or right. Hell, last night I got off to lay down and go to bed and ended up on the drawing tablet redrawing the character design from our last critique session.
