THE FORUMS
Nine forums for Academy Live and Pro members. Here’s what’s inside.
START HERE
1
Say hello
Introduce yourself in the Comic Artist Lounge. Tell us what you draw and what you want to get better at.
2
Share your work
Post a sketch, a page or a finished piece in Comic Art Showcase. Finished or not, it all counts.
3
Ask for feedback
In Feedback And Critique, say what you’re going for and what feels off. Post the whole page plus a close-up, and give some feedback back.
LIVE FEEDBACK & CRITIQUE
Included with Academy Live and Pro.
Get your art reviewed live by a working pro. Post your piece in the Feedback and Critique forum, and Clayton will critique it on stream with honest, constructive feedback and draw-overs that show you exactly what to fix. You can even join him in the studio while he reviews it.
HOW IT WORKS
1
POST YOUR PIECE
Share your work in the Feedback and Critique forum before the session, with a line about what you’d like help with.
2
GET 10–15 MINUTES
Your work gets 10 to 15 minutes of honest, constructive critique, with live draw-overs so you can see exactly what to fix.
3
JOIN THE STUDIO
Come into the live studio while your work is up. Ask questions and get help with whatever you’re struggling with most.
4
BUSY WEEK?
If more work comes in than one session can fit, the rest is reviewed in an extra session later that same week.
One piece per member, per session. A series, like a run of comic pages, can go up together as one volume and is critiqued as a whole rather than page by page.
