Draw It Out: Transform a Journal Entry into an Evocative Comic in Procreate

Do you want to channel your emotions into art? To express your deepest thoughts in a visual manner? 

Artist and author, Grace Miceli, walks you through her illustration and writing-based creative practice. Join her by releasing your thoughts and emotions into the world and producing an evocative personal comic. 

In this class, you'll learn to: 

• Open up your inner world and let it all out on the page in a journaling exercise
• Differentiate between thoughts and feelings
• Distill your words into concise poetic phrases
• Work towards communicating what you want to say through symbolic imagery
• Connect it all together into a cohesive final artwork! 

If you have ever felt overwhelmed by your emotions and a desire to create art, this class is for you! It’s designed for anyone who wants to strengthen their understanding of how real-life experiences can be transformed into art.

No prior experience as an art-maker is necessary. Take part in a creative exercise that encourages you to give your personal experience meaning and potentially release some limiting thoughts or beliefs you may hold.

Everyone can benefit from reflecting on and embracing their vulnerability, and this class is here to help you on that journey!
