Drawing Comics with Neil G. Ballard

Local artist Neil G. Ballard has been drawing comics and illustrations for over ten years. In this workshop, Neil will show students how to compose images for comics based on tried-and-true comics-making techniques such as spot-blacking and drawing from reference mannequins.

These techniques will make your comics bolder and more noticeable, unlocking your potential by focusing on black-and-white compositions to which color can be added for even greater effect. All levels of drawing skill are welcome, including students who have never drawn comics (or anything else) before. Neil will guide students through a series of exercises using markers, drawing paper and tracing paper, and by the end of the class each student will have completed at least one page of comics.
