More Workshops as the Deadline Approaches!

We've posted three more workshops to the 30 Classes in 30 Days calendar!

First up, we have An Introduction to the Super Rad World of Color by Kevin Cross! In this live presentation you'll get an overview on the basics of color theory followed by some cool tricks to create mood and focus in your illustrations.

Then we have two workshops on using software in your comics work:

Coloring with Adobe Photoshop Elements will show you how to use Adobe's inexpensive image editor to do professional-grade coloring.

Lettering with Adobe Illustrator will provide you with some practical techniques in creating sound elements in your comics, along with some philosophical meditations on sound design! Anyone who enjoyed the Art & Story episode where Jerzy Drozd spent nearly two hours talking about sound effect design will enjoy this workshop.
