There is no better teacher than a practicing professional who has also had a career as a college art professor. Shawn Crystal created INKPULP INSTRUCTION after a decade of teaching at SCAD and working as a professional comic book artist. He wanted to create a tool to help artists develop their own skills and career while also helping them to avoid the pitfalls of “breaking in” to the comic book industry. Shawn himself stumbled around for years trying to break in, and in the process he was able to learn all the ins and outs of the business and medium.
Now, all this invaluable experience and expertise is available to you. Along with other professionals, Shawn will walk you through your journey of artistic development and fast-track your jump from amateur artist to professional.
INKPULP INSTRUCTION is designed to be taken at your own pace, on your own time. There are no deadlines or expectations as to when projects and/or lessons need to be completed. Once you purchase a video, it is yours forever to watch and practice at your own leisure.
INKPULP INSTRUCTION is a fully-online learning system. InkpulpInstruction.com is the home page and the entire library of videos is housed on Gumroad, meaning you can access them anytime, anywhere on your computer, phone, or tablet.
