Comic Strip
Tutor: Ottilie Hainsworth
Create you own comic strip
This is a drawing-based course focusing on imagination and observation. Ottilie guides you through a series of exercises designed to connect mind and hand. You will work on developing characters and plot, while experimenting with different picture-making techniques. At the end of the course you will have produced one large-scale comic strip or several smaller strips.
