Taking the chance to celebrate SAW online Alum, Angeli Rafer! The middle grade book she drew, 'Ghosts Don’t Eat Potato Chips came out this week withScholastic! Woo! Don't forget to let us know about your comics wins in the big, bad world outside the network! We want to hear about it!

In this fall teen comics class, students will be developing their comics making skills, flexing their storytelling muscles and trying their hand at new image making techniques.

By the end of the 10 weeks, each student will walk away with multiple comics pages and a reproducible comics zine. They will also have an opportunity to exhibit their work in a Friday night artwork exhibition Friday November 25.

Have you had trouble drawing hands? Hands can be hard!

In my lectures I will show you  masterful drawings and paintings and we will examine the layers from the front to the back, and analyze how they arranged and depicted each layer.

The first thing I tell people who want to add more depth and details in their art is to look for the layers. In my classes we examine the layers of masterful work from the front to the back, and then analyze how they arranged and rendered each layer.

Learn to draw from life and the imagination through fun, creative projects and regular sketching practice.
