“This course helped me create a 36-image wordless graphic novel—something I never imagined I could do. It taught me that even the struggle to draw can serve the story, and that I can build my own visual language and narrative rules. Andrzej and Miguel were incredibly supportive and thoughtful, and the environment felt safe, inspiring, and deeply creative. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to explore storytelling beyond words, and discover new ways of seeing and making.”

“This course feels like a boot camp for anyone interested in creating sequential art and simultaneously finessing their drawing skills. I learnt so much in the space of a month: about the craft, my own process, communicating my ideas in a clear visual semiotic. I was also exposed to a broad range of graphic styles by other creators from all over the world who became my peers for an intense period of working, sharing and feeding back with each other. I have already recommended it to a friend!”
