Comics: Art in Relationship

I signed up for a free online comics course offered by the California College of the arts with Kadenze late last year (https://www.kadenze.com/courses/comics-art-in-relationship/info). It was quite an interesting experience. I've been drawing comics for a long time, but I've never taken a formal course in comics creation before. I've read many books, gone for workshops, even given workshops myself, but this was a new experience. Needless to say I was probably one of the more experienced students. If you're interested in learning to create comics, I highly recommend this course as a starting point. Here are some of the comics I created during the span of the course.
