Are you tired of spinning your wheels trying to draw your own comics?
Are you looking for ways to improve your artistic abilities and actually get your art in front of an audience?
Making comics isn’t just about sitting down and drawing some pictures. It’s about creating fully developed characters and environments, understanding the principles of design, utilizing the fundamentals of form, shading, color theory, line weight, and composition… Then putting it all together to create a well-composed scene.
If that all seems overwhelming, take a deep breath and relax. You have come to the right place.
Follow our methods closely and you will be on your way to creating and publishing your work in no time!
The comic book publishing industry is a competitive and challenging space. You are not just selling your art and skills… you have to sell yourself as a creator that potential clients and employers can work with. This requires networking, marketing, and sometimes crowdfunding. It means building your brand through email marketing, social media, conventions, and more.
I know, I know… not exactly what you had in mind when you said to yourself “I want to draw comics for a living!”
The good news is that with the right guidance, tools, and strategies, you might see your work on display for sale quicker than you ever thought possible.

Anthony Summey has been teaching drawing, animation, character design, and storyboarding for the past 11 years. Originally from the small southern town of Walhalla, SC, he used to drive his grade school teachers crazy with doodles of superheroes all over his homework assignments. Needless to say, he always has and always will love to draw.
He is currently a Freelance Comic Book Artist and Professor for the Digital Production Arts Program at Clemson University where students are learning to become professionals in the game and animation industries. He has received his MFA degree from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a concentration in Sequential Art. His work has appeared internationally with an ever-growing client list.

I had Anthony Summey for a total of three classes while I was at college. One of which was an independent study that I chose him to be the professor for.
Anthony was amazing to have as a professor because he was able to give me meaningful critiques on my artwork. He was able to help me understand what skills I was weak in so that I could focus on improving those skills. Most of all, he was able to challenge me artistically and pushed me outside of my comfort zone.
Anthony goes above and beyond for his students. He gets to know all of their individual goals as artists and then helps them move in the right direction. He also keeps everyone updated on possible jobs in the art industry that students would be interested in. I would not be on the same path as I am on now if it were not for his guidance. Even since graduating I have kept in touch and continue to seek his advice regularly.
