The New Comics Career!
ANDY SCHMIDT: The old way of doing things is to pitch your project to a publisher until it gets picked up. But as fewer publishers are willing to take risks, even small ones, and as crowdfunding has picked up steam, the new way creators are making a living and a name for themselves is a strange hybrid model between traditional publishing and self-publishing. Let’s discuss!

Action Scenes
ANDY SCHMIDT: One of the hardest lessons to learn is how action scenes in comics are so very different from those in movies. In this break-out session, Andy will highlight the key differences between the two and how to get powerful, impactful action scenes on your comics page!

Inspiration vs Structure
ANDY SCHMIDT: We have an idea! We’re inspired to draw or write about it! A story to tell to inspire others! But how do we capture this inspiration??? By imposing structure and formula and analysis on it. Structuring your story and your art and your page layouts is helpful, there’s no doubt–but is there too much structure? Or too little? The eternal yin and yang of storytelling is explored and you get to ask your questions!
