I took this class because I wanted to work on a project with the guidance of a professional comics artist. I especially enjoyed the supportive atmosphere from the instructor, the feedback from fellow students as we all worked on our projects, and the images and books Jerel would bring in to inspire us. I thought the class was great, and wish it was available year-round!
