Fundamentals

Every pro comic book artist knows that to draw effectively you've got to have a solid understanding of the fundamentals. A well drawn illustration is built upon a powerful structure that upholds the principles of perspective, proportions, form and composition. Below you'll find a collection of courses that focus on these specific topics. If you're just starting out on your journey as an artist, or you're coming back from a long hiatus - begin here.

Tutorials & Ebooks

​

We all learn in different ways. Some of us like to watch over the instructors shoulder as they narrate their process in a video demonstration. Other's prefer to read books, taking in information at their own pace as they observe each step with written explanation and meticulously illustrated examples. Many of us prefer a combination of both!

​

With that in mind, HTDC offers educational content for artists in both video and written formats so that you can choose not just what you learn, but how you want to learn it. Below you'll find our full range of Tutorials and Ebooks. Some of them come with video demonstrations as well, so that you can both read and watch how it's all done.

Animals & Creatures

​

When it comes to being a comic book illustrator, you've got to be able to draw just about anything - and that includes animals and creatures. They come in all different shapes and sizes but one thing they have in common with humanoids is that they adhere to a fundamental structure which holds within it their proportions, pose and placement.

There are parallels we can draw between creatures and mankind as far as anatomy and the mechanics of movement are concerned, but they're still different enough to earn their very own category of study. Below you'll find our top courses on drawing animals and creatures.

Backgrounds & Environments

​

Backgrounds and environments are often overlooked. In a comic book emphasis is placed on the characters and story which surrounds them, but it's the background that gives their world context. It introduces a greater level of believability to the reader, drawing them deeper into the story and making your comic book that much more immersive.

​

Below you'll find all the know how you could ever want when it comes to drawing jaw-dropping backgrounds that compliment your character's and enhance the story. You'll learn everything from the basic principles of perspective to the complexities of set design.

Coloring

​

A splash of color truly is the icing on the cake when it comes to comic book illustration. But if done badly it can also be a major disservice to line art of the highest caliber. 

Whether you plan on hiring a colorist or doing it yourself, understanding color theory along with the techniques and methods it involves will allow you to choose an approach that compliments the inked contours of your comic art. The courses below will teach you the precise coloring workflows typically used in comic book illustration.
