Comics: Environments & Backgrounds

View sharable event page

Instructors: Serena Tang and Tayson Martindale

This is an intermediate workshop for ages 14+.

In this workshop we will be talking about the things going on behind (or sometimes in front) of your characters - the background. Love them or hate them, they can really help you set the scene in your comic. We will show you how to put in a background, and some tips and tricks to fill your comic panels with the elements of an environment without having to draw them in every panel (because that can be a lot of work!) We will also cover some basic information about perspective in drawing.

Please bring a sketchpad, pens, pencils, and eraser with you to the workshop. All other supplies will be provided.
