From graphic novels to autobiographical stories, to experimental, superhero, underground comics – in print or online – your studies help you master plot development, building dramatic narrative tension, sequential action, rendering, and coloring your stories. Legendary faculty, along with some of the hottest property creators, lead you through this process panel after panel.


SVA's instructors, teaching plan, and approach create a unique environment where a student’s intellectual and technical skills are evolved and perfected in tandem. Writing and plot development along with fundamentals in composition, perspective, figure drawing, penciling, inking, panel layout, traditional and digital coloring, lettering, and production, contribute to the competitive skill set responsible for our award-winning students and alumni.
