Comic Art & Sequential Storytelling
with Jacob Boland
Every one of us has a story to tell, whether it’s a grand fictional adventure or a slice of our own lived experience. Whether you are 17 or 70, a complete beginner or a seasoned doodler, local artist Jacob Boland invites you to discover the power of sequential art. This dynamic, hands-on course goes far beyond basic drawing, it’s an exploration of non-linear storytelling designed to help you find your unique visual voice, achieve a sense of mental balance, and become a more confident communicator. Your journey begins with the very foundations of the medium.
Step by step, you will learn to map out your ideas using quick thumbnail sketches and outlines, before diving into the mechanics of panel layout to master narrative flow and guide your reader’s eye. From there, you'll explore composition and blocking to bring depth and dramatic tension to your pages. Finally, you will breathe life into your worlds by mastering the professional, atmospheric techniques of ink wash, composition, and shading. By the end of the course, you will not only walk away with a wealth of new artistic skills and a mind cleared of clutter, but you will also take home your entire portfolio of original work from the final session.
Spaces are limited to ensure personalized, one-on-one guidance from Jacob. Reserve your spot today and turn your blank pages into powerful stories!
