SUMMER TEEN INTENSIVE Two separate weeks, June 18-June 29

Professional Inking and Drawing Techniques with Justine Mara Anderson – 5 Thursdays, May 17- June 14, 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm

Justine Mara Andersen has come to SAW to share her professional experiences from years of working for clients such as DC Comics (Green Lantern, Invisibles, etc.), Wizard Of the Coast (Dungeons & Dragons, Dragonlance, etc.) Luscafilm (“Star Wars Insider,” “Star Wars Gamer”), and numerous other clients. Her class will focus on inking styles and techniques (in which she will demystify the brush), and will also touch upon the many considerations from start to finish that separate professional from amateur work. She will be sharing the knowledge she gained from years of study and support from comics luminaries like P. Craig Russell (Sandman, Elric), Val Mayerik (Punisher, Conan), Jeffrey Catherine Jones, Frank Thorne (Ghita Of Alizarr) Jim Steranko (original Raiders Of the Lost Ark designer, SHIELD, Strange Tales) and more.

Students will be required to bring the following items to the first class:

  • Samples of their best work
  • Windsor Newton Series 7 #2 brush (or, God forbid, a lower budget equivalent)
  • India ink
  • Bristol
  • pencils and erasers
  • cheap brush and white gouache
  • sketch pad
  • enthusiasm!

5-Week Class for Creative Adults

Our first intro class in January was a great success. This repeat of the intro session will serve as an introduction to the vocabulary and methods of comics and sequential art.

This class will be a survey of comix styles and tools and possibilities. We’ll look at tons of examples, do in-class exercises and work towards a single-page masterpiece.
