ABOUT THIS LESSON

Mastering the art of comic book illustration is about more than having mad drawing skills alone. It's about telling stories with your art... visual narratives that are riveting, impactful and long lasting in the mind of the reader - and we do this through panels.

But the question is what do we put in those panels? How do we choose the best keyframes to break up the scenes in our story?

That's what we'll be learning about in this lesson - the art of sequencing your story into panels. You'll learn what to show in them, how to present it, and the best way to capture the emotional tone of every moment.

By the end you'll have a strategy for converting your narratives into full-blown, visual sequences that play out like an enthralling movie... regardless of genre or the context of the scene.
