Storytelling in Comics
Anyone can find a basic step-by-step guide to making comics, but how do you create comics and manga that truly make the reader FEEL something? Comic creators Michelle Stanford (Centralia 2050) and Matt McEwan (Ruin) break down how they use art, lettering, layout and sound effects to imbue every part of their comics with story. Learn how to take your comic and manga storytelling skills to the next level!
