Description

In this course you will learn how to draw comic style art from the basic sketch to the final rendering.  You will gain a better understanding on how to create illustrations with depth and dimension.  By using line, shape, and forms we can construct anything.  I will teach you how to simplify the things around you and then draw them with your own creative filter.

For this course you will need a pencil and paper or a drawing tablet.  I will be using Traditional Comic Art tools such as 2h and HB lead.  Bristol board smooth and various erasers.  You will learn more about these tools as I am using them to create the work.  You can still create and follow along with a regular pencil and paper.

This course is broken up into 5 main sections.

Section 1 - Understanding Line - Shape - Form

Section 2 - Drawing Comic Book Style Faces

Section 3 - Shading and Rendering

Section 4 - Drawing Poses for Comic Book Characters + Designing a Character

Section 5 - Drawing a Zombie - Textures and Imperfections


You will work through a variety of practice activities that you can share in the Q+A Section of this course.  Make sure to be specific with any questions or trouble areas you may have.  I will do my best to offer any insight that I can.


In this course you will learn -

  • Understanding Line - Shape and Form

  • Constructing Your Designs with Primitive Shapes

  • Working with Light and Shadow

  • Cross hatching or Rendering Techniques

  • Line Weight and Line Clarity

  • Focal Points

  • Contrast within the work

  • And Rendering a Variety of Materials

  • Drawing and Rendering a Comic Book Character

This course is designed for aspiring comic artists that want to create more impact in their illustrations but I feel a lot of these lessons can apply to a variety of art styles.


By the end of these lessons you will have learned how to add more depth and dimension to your art.  I am here to help you with any questions you might have and I look forward to seeing your artwork in the Q+A Section of this course


Thank you for considering my course and good luck with your studies!

Sincerely,

Robert A. Marzullo

Just great! Robert is so experienced and calm in the way he approaches these lessons. He also gets across the creative aspects of comic drawing as in finding your style, not everything is wrong, which is really encouraging. Loving the course so far.

I have been a working professional artist for most of my life.  I have been published in comics, created 3D animation and characters for television, illustrated storyboards for commercials, and owned and operated my own design firm successfully for over 15 years.  

I am also the author of the book "Learn to Draw Action Heroes" by Impact Publishing.

I am currently a professional freelance illustrator and comic artist where I create digital art for my clients. I create sequential art and character concepts.

I now share my knowledge in digital art and computer software through online platforms such as Udemy and have a growing Youtube channel as well. With over 100,000 Youtube subscribers and quickly growing I felt I should create some more in depth content for students wanting to take their skills to the next level.

My goal is to help aspiring artists realize their potential and break their mental barriers that hold them back from creating the artwork of their dreams. We can all do it with the right instruction and work ethic. That is what I am here to teach my students.

I am very dedicated to my students and responsive to any of your questions so please don't hesitate to ask. I am here to help!
