Welcome to all the new patrons! I know that many of you are here because you heard about my upcoming Comics Classroom and so I want to give you all a little more information on what to expect and when to expect it so you can claim your spot if you want one. :)

Below is a little graphic from the PRIMER video where I give an idea of what each months lessons will focus on. This schedule is still in flux and the final month is still to be determined. I'm thinking it could either be about Monetization or it might just be a "month of rest" where we all just take a break from comic making. :) Either way, I will plan to send out an update every month talking about what the next month's subject will be so you can decide if you want to continue with the class or not. 

Here's a rough guide of what I'm planning:

If it's unclear, each Module is for a different month. Each month will have an hour+ video that I have labored over to give you a lecture, examples and assignment. Then you will have 3 weeks to turn in your assignment and then I will make a 10-20 minute critique video of your work. Then we will have a live Q&A with our Incubator Group at the end of the month. Oh yeah, and you will have access to a special Discord Server where you can share your progress and communicate with me and the other students throughout the month. 

How Do I Sign Up?

The Comics Classroom will be a unique tier here on my Patreon. I will add the Classroom Tier on the 1st of July and I will send out a new Patreon update the moment it is live! The Classroom tier will be $100 per month with one module per month. You will be able to cancel at any time for any reason. But if you lose your seat then you might not be able to get a seat again in future months. 

I will only be offering 10 seats. And I personally know several people who are planning to take this so you will want to grab that $100 tier as soon as it is announced to lock in your seat.

Story/Artist Incubator Group

If you don't want to commit to monthly lessons and critiques then you can always just join the Story/Artist Incubator Group in the $50 Tier. Here you will be able to participate in live critiques from myself and the group once a month. We can all get the encouragement we need to keep pushing forward with our personal projects, bounce ideas off each other and participate in the Discord Group.

Well, this is going to be my main focus for the rest of the year and into 2022.  I'm really looking forward to assisting you in your comic making adventures!

See you on July 1st!!!

Man I’m looking forward to this. I missed out on your CGMA classes. I’m 45 and personal things happened in the 90s that pulled me away from comics. In 2018 I just couldn’t deny that “itch”. I got the first iteration of Cognitive Drawing and I love it. Coloring pulled me away from drawing because I needed to color the artwork done for my graphic novel and I was hired to color another book. Now I’m trying to focus a little more time on drawing so that I can develop the rest of my ips. I will be watching like a hawk for a seat.

Alex Garcia

And my apologies up front…I’m not sharing this with ANYONE until I get my seat!

Jeremiah Spoon

I'm really excited for this man. I started working on my story again since the idea came up. I'm looking forward to having a kind of virtual studio group to work with.

Eye Am Phibian

Hey Jason. This sounds awesome and I’m definitely interested, I’ve been reading your work since I was a teenager! I live in the Uk so was wandering if what time you generally do the live videos as I usually miss out on these things if they’re late night in the US? Thanks! -PHIBIAN-

Jason Brubaker

Hi Eye Am! In the past I have done the live sessions in the morning here in the US. Specifically starting around 9AM or 10AM (Mountain Standard Time). But it hasn’t been set in stone yet. ;)

Melvin Todd

Just joined the incubator. I started a comic years ago after reading your book, and so it seems perfect now that I want to continue it, to have a group of like minded creators help push each other. Already stoked for what we will all make. Thanks Jason!

Jason Brubaker

Hey Melvin! Awesome! I’ll have a group video call with everyone this week and we can start planning how to make this new group amazing for everyone! Thanks so much for your support also!

Aaron Olson

I took Jason’s CGMA class in early 2020 and it was well worth it. Given the chance, I’d have taken this option over that one any day. More time, more feedback, a great group of collaborators, and Jason at the helm. Looking forward to what you create in this class!

Alex Garcia

Jason, will this class contain drawing instruction, or is it for those that already have the skill needed? Thanks.

Jason Brubaker

Not really drawing instructions. It’s mostly for people who already have a pretty strong foundation in drawing.

acuerdox

what if one spot opens up? could someone start taking the classes in Mod 5?

Kyle Prometheus

I wonder if there is room to fit in another tier between the Tier 1 and Tier 2. Where by those that don't make it into the Classroom of 10 can have a 'back of class' option of quietly following the lesson videos and assignments but Jason doesn't have the commitment to do the private 20 min video critique of their work. So you'd have the front of class workshop of 10. And a 'back of class' option for others who could still follow along and learn. That would provide additional income for the course. (Unless this is something meant for the incubator tier...). Regards.

Jason Brubaker

Yes, Once it starts, and I open 10 seats, you guys can come as go as you see fit. So if anyone drops out then anyone else can join for that month/module. :)

Jason Brubaker

Hey Kyle, That is a good idea. I will wait and see just how many people want to take the class part and if it fills up fast then I could see opening up a $75 tier with the lessons but no critique possibly. Thanks for the suggestion. :)

Kyle Prometheus

Thank you for your reply, Jason. I would very much like to join your classroom to support and learn from you. Here's to a successful launch on July 1st. Regards.

Alex Garcia

Jason to try to get a seat in the class do we just edit our tier when the class launches? Or do we need to just sign up?

L.J.

Bummer. Up before dawn and the classroom is already gone. I am glad it helps Jason.

Jason Brubaker

It hasn’t launched yet. It will open up tomorrow, about 24 hours from now. That’s when I’ll open up the 10 seats. Sorry that placeholder is confusing.

Alex Garcia

YeaYeaYea…time to hit the ol’ sack. 🥱 Gotta get that rest to snatch up my seat for the class…😈

John Middleton

Man, so bummed when the announcement e-mail came out my e-mail was down. I completely missed it. Hoping to catch the next one.
