Free Comic Book Cover Composition Lesson

[Tyler Hallstrom]

Good evening everyone! Being the art teacher that I am, I thought it would be fun for me to post some lecture notes that I have used in the classes I teach. This is a new style of presenting for me that has been partially inspired by my experience with SVS Learn. Special thanks to Mike Mignola, Andrew MacLean, and Jake Wyatt for being AMAZING examples of having properties with outstanding covers and splash pages. Would love to know what you think or if you found the information and observations helpful.

Also, I hope to have some more Cacti art soon!
