Do you have a story to tell? Are you interested in learning how to create an exciting and believable world that is uniquely yours? Do you have an idea about a group of characters that you would like to bring to life? Let’s explore together some of the ways that we can use this medium as a way to create a powerful story. Things we might talk about include: story arc, building a believable character, learning about body language and facial expressions, how to create a dynamic setting, how to use words and pictures together for better clarity and persuasion, and any other ideas you can come up with. Let’s get together with some like-minded people and have some fun exploring comics.
