I made an account to ask about this, but apparently I need five posts before I can PM, and I tend to stutter on the phone, so:

- I'm 17, would I count as an adult enough to come on the course this summer, or would I be too young?

- Any ideas of the dates/time for the course? I'd need to know if it clashed with school before I would be able to decide if I should commit to going or not.

- How much would it cost?

- Would we need to have an idea pre-prepared? And if so, in how much detail?

 

Thank you in advance, and sorry about not asking via pm. ^^;

Aye, I'd like to know more anorl.

 

I have zero drawing talent, (infact I'll change that, I have negative drawing talent) but have an idea for a story which I can only visualise as a comic. My experience with comics is low, I've read a few of the more adult ones (does Viz count?) like the Punisher Max series and Preacher, but I wouldn't know enough about them to adapt a stroy for the media.

 

As I can't really see my drawing ability increasing in the next 50 years, would Iget anything from this?

Is there anything like this for children? My grandson loves comics and he would love to design his own.

I'd be up for this, but with work and other commitments I'd find it difficult to regularly commit to it :(

 

I'm quite a good drawer, always have been.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
