Jeremy McFarren, Fort Wayne artist and educator, will lead this stand-alone session, second of four that focus on art and ideas in comic book creation.

Learn tips for using a variety of camera angles, viewpoints, eye levels, and other composition tricks to create compelling images for a narrative sequence. How can we show but not tell? How can we make it interesting? How can we make it impactful?
