What you'll discover in this lesson is that the choices you make for your page layouts comes down to one thing - telling your story. Throughout the demonstration I'll show you a number of panel layout styles, how to determine the best for the story you want to create - then walk you through the decision making process for actually laying out a page that hooks the reader in and holds their attention.

There's nothing worse than when you're reading a comic, and there's action and explosions erupting all over the place - buildings are crashing down, the sky is falling - chaos is unfolding!... But the characters are stone cold. It's as if... they're not quite registering what's going on around them. They look like total NPC's! - completely checked out of your story. This is known as breaking sequential congruence... characters don't quite react appropriately to the goings-on

Throughout the demonstration, I'll show you the differences between regular poses, and poses that are pushed to the absolute limit. Then we'll look at broken poses, how they end up like that and the best way to avoid them. We'll look at range of motion for each part of the human body so that you have a solid understanding of it's potential and limitations in posing!

In this lesson, I'm going to break down my process for keeping the proportions of your characters in check when pushing and pulling them into those dynamic, foreshortened poses. You'll learn how to stretch the measurements of the human body, and compose your characters into almost any depth enhanced pose - without breaking them.

The chest and breasts make up a majority of the forward facing upper torso, making them a prominent spectacle when it comes to character bust shots - and as a comic artist, trust me, you'll be given plenty of opportunity to draw them. In this lesson, Ed Foychuk shows us how!

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.

In this lesson, Ed Foychuk shows us a super simple and effective way to tackle coloring for your comic art. If coloring’s been stressing you out or holding you back, this class is the one for you! Because as you well know, if you've ever watched one of Ed's classes before, he has a knack for taking the complication out of even the most intimidating topics.

In this lesson, we dive into drawing characters at different distances, with a laser focus on the art of simplification. This isn't about just "drawing smaller" or leaving things out. It's a specific skill... where you know exactly what to leave out and what to keep in to maintain the essence of your character. Mastering this skill allows you to create those epic, expansive scenes without losing their identity.

Learn how to pace your comic panels like a pro. In this lesson, Clayton Barton shows you how to turn a script into a compelling comic page with dynamic panel layouts, clear storytelling, and powerful visual beats.

In this lesson, we’re diving deep into the male torso - breaking it down into simple, manageable forms you can actually understand and use in your drawings. I’ll show you how the rib cage, pelvis, and spine all come together to build the structure of the torso, and how to see through the complexity so you’re not overwhelmed by all the anatomy sitting on top.

Learn how to draw consistent comic book characters across panels. In this lesson, I’ll take you through the full process of designing a character from scratch. From there, we’ll move into the real test - replicating that character across three different shots, just like you would in an actual comic. Each panel shows the character in a different pose and from a new angle, but the core design, silhouette, and proportions stay locked in.

In this lesson you'll learn a simple, straight forward method for drawing the pelvis that begins with a basic bowl form - that anyone can draw! We'll use this bowl as the foundation for our pelvis, plugging it into the midsection of the torso, and the legs. From there I'll show you how to structure the key muscle groups surrounding the pelvis - the glutes, groin, sartorius - and how they connect to the hips and thighs.

In this lesson, we’ll take a practical, form-based approach to building the core of the torso. I’ll show you how to sculpt it from simple, solid shapes that make sense - whether your figure is standing upright, twisting sideways, or hunched into a punch.

Throughout this class you'll get a step-by-step method that's easy to execute, and shows you how to build up an anatomically accurate, upper torso from the barebones foundations.

Fabric folds driving you nuts? In this lesson I dive into tension points and creases to help you draw dynamic clothing like a pro.

Discover techniques to craft expressive faces that reveal your character’s personality, motivations, and hidden struggles.

In this lesson I'll show you a set of nifty tools you can use to give your comic book pages that elusive 'WOW' factor so many others lack.

In Part 2 of the Slow-Paced Sequences class we'll continue the discussion on what makes for a riveting, yet steadily paced sequence.

In this lesson, we'll focus on the art of deceleration—making moments expand and breathe on the page.

In this video lesson, we’re diving deep into the process of designing and refining an alien character from outer space.
