Open Enrollment for the NEW Comics Classroom! (Patreon)

Hey there!

You've probably heard me talk about my Comics Class before, well, I've refined it again and we are about to open enrollment again. This time we are calling it Comic Inkubator. If you are interested in knowing more then keep reading. :)

The first "live" session of the Comic Inkubator course will start on October 27th! As a special thank you to my patrons, you’ll get early access to the cart and the best-discounted price for this first session. Space is limited for this first round. I will be posting the link to sign up at 10 a.m. MT on October 16th. If you want to learn more, check out the information below:

What’s the course about?

With all the steps and skills needed to create a comic, it can feel overwhelming just to get started, so we created the Comics Inkubator course to speed up the learning process and help you start and finish your comic.

Check out the course outline for a list of the specific topics that will be covered each week of the course:

How long is the course?

The class is 10 weeks long and includes weekly lessons, assignments, feedback and a live call with the class. The course will officially begin on Friday, October 27th. Because this course will take place over the holiday season, we will take the week of Thanksgiving (November 20-26th) and the week of Christmas (December 24-31th), off. That means you will get an 2 extra weeks to work on the assignments. The course will end, with a final livestream, on January 24th.

What kind of assignments will I complete in this course?

The primary goal for this class is to help you create a pitch for your comic, including several finished comic pages, as well as a plan to help you finish the rest of the comic after the course has finished. Each week’s assignment will walk you through the steps needed to do this.

How much time will the assignments take?

The amount of time required will depend greatly on each student’s past experience and skill level with making comics and the amount of effort they can put into the coursework. Students with less time can do the bare minimum and still finish a draft, while those with more time could complete a more finished pitch and sample of their comic.

With this in mind, we recommend planning at least an hour a day or 7 hours a week to work on your assignments, in addition to watching the lesson videos and live call.

When are the live calls?

We will hold a live call with the entire class each week of the course. The purpose of these calls is for the instructor to give you feedback on the assignment you completed and to answer course-related questions. Live calls will occur on Wednesdays each week at 10 a.m. MT and be about 1 to 2 hours long. There will be 10 live calls, and a bonus introduction livestream in the first week of the class on November 1st.

What if I can’t attend one of the live calls?

For those who can not attend the live calls, we will record them and then upload them to the course. You will have access to rewatch the live streams until the end of the course.

When will the assignments be due?

Your assignments will be due the following Monday mornings by 10 a.m. MT. Work not turned in by this time will not receive feedback during the live call.

How much is the course?

The regular prices for the live session will be $1,200, but patrons will receive a discount code making the course only $900 ($300 off!) This is a special one-time offer I’m doing as a thank you to everyone that has been supporting me here on Patreon.

What if I bought “Comics Classroom” here on Patreon previously?

If you are interested in taking the "live" version of this class AGAIN then I can give you an even bigger discount. This new version of the class will NOT be on Patreon this time because it wasn't a very good user experience for me or the students. Please message me and we will work something out. :)

Thanks again for your support here on Patreon over the years. Please keep your eyes open for my Patreon post on Monday to get access to the class (as well as other things).
