Penciling Order Pencilling
This is the first stage of converting a written story into graphic form. This course involves the proper use of the tools, original size of artwork, story sequence and page design, describing the pencil preparations of various styles of cartooning and comic book art.

The penciling course will also indicate the initial stages of inking and lettering. This course answers the questions for anyone who wondered how pencil art for comic books is accomplished, and why.

This course has been developed with the help of Andy Kubert, one of the top professional pencillers in the comic book business today. He is currently on the WIZARD magazines list of the 10 best pencillers.
