I just finished Drawing Basics course, and my end goal is Marvel’s Art of Storytelling. But I have to know; what courses should I take to prepare me for Marvel’s Art of Storytelling? What are the names?

Hey Ronald! Congrats on making your way through the Drawing Basics Course! You have a lot of great work in your album, keep it up! I think Basics is one of the best courses to go hand in hand with Marvel's the Art of Storytelling because Basics is a focus on the fundamentals you'll use every time you draw. You can keep returning to Basics and work your way though level 1, and then again for level 2, and so on. Each time you do a lap through those assignments you can focus on different areas of your work you want to develop. For comics, a solid grasp of the fundamentals will give you the greatest benefit, so doing a deep dive on Basics is always a good idea! You'll want to be really comfortable drawing people, so establishing a routine of gesture drawing using the Timer Tool will help you get some more mileage in drawing the human figure. Michael Hampton's courses on Gesture Drawing, Figure Construction, and Portraiture are great places to go next, as well as Marshall's Perspective course so you can start to visualize your own environments. Looks like you have a few courses from Ryan Benjamin, and David Finch which are both great resources, and you already seem to have a copy of How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way, so be sure to draw your way through that book as well, Buscema is a great teacher for comics. Every gesture in that book is worth studying! All that said, feel free to jump right in and and start on making a short comic of your own any time! Start small with a 1 or two page comic, and start experimenting with how to tell stories on the page. Comics have so much to learn, so don't hesitate to just start drawing fun stories that interest you and you'll develop more with each course you find yourself taking! Read comics, draw comics, have fun, repeat! Hope this helps, keep it up! https://www.proko.com/timer https://www.proko.com/@smichaelhampton/products https://www.proko.com/course/the-perspective-course

Thank you very much. This sure is a lot of information - a lot of people say I should take Anatomy of the Human Body course and figure drawing courses - EVERYONE'S GOT DIFFERENT VIEWS. But to tell you the truth dude; I thought about taking Gesture course, Head Drawing course and Dynamics of Character drawing from Ryan Benjamin in the first place instead of watching 371 videos in the anatomy course, and some people say: "I can't just learn from a book". But you're the first person to say; "Just give it a go." That's what my conscience has been telling me for a long time. So - I will go for it with the knowledge I already have because there is no rush. I will return to the gesture drawing course and give it my very best, I do hope you will be around, brother! I would love to show you where I am at with it and I would love to hear your critique or from anyone you know. But please keep it positive. Thank you.
