Our Character Study Intensive and Graphic Novel Boot Camp courses are now live.
In addition to our free resources and mentorship programs, we have been hard at work developing these on demand courses. We know people lead busy lives, and might not have time for a full mentorship, so we wanted to create something they could do in their own time, and with specific focuses of study.
Both the Character Study Intensive and Graphic Novel Boot Camp courses were designed directly with top Advocate Art and Astound US Inc. agents, Advocate Art Agent Erin Tisdel, Astound US Inc Agent Aurora Barlam, as well as our own creative director, Bhavi Patel (also an Advocate Art Agent), and marketing director, and former Astound US Inc Agent, Emily Coggins.
A lot of love, care and time has gone into these courses. But more importantly, so did all of our inter agency expertise.
