MICE 2024

Create a truly unique mini-comic using a pocket-sized computer. Learn some basic coding to wow your readers with interactive elements.

Join middle grade graphic novelist and educator Jarad Greene as he leads a demonstration and exercise in inking with a brush. Get acquainted with this challenging but versatile inking tool both beloved and cursed by professionals!

What's your favorite part of the comics process? Join Mad Rupert for her favorite part: inking! Via live demonstration, Mad will cover a variety of traditional inking tools, like technical and brush pens, and give tips on mark-making, line variation, and keeping your hand steady. She will also cover the inking order of operations (what should you ink first? Word balloons or art?), hand-lettering, and digital cleanup. Bring your favorite inking tools, or some you've been wanting to try!
