Visual Horror Storytelling

Fear is a complex and controversial topic that encompasses psychology, science, dreams, and the workings of the brain. Triggering fear can be a powerful tool for artists looking to capture and express their deepest, primal fears through mediums such as sculpture, painting, film, or video games. The release of Amnesia: The Dark Descent in 2010 ignited the horror gaming industry, paving the way for more mainstream recognition of the genre. Games like Outlast and P.T. owe their existence to the impact of Amnesia, as the horror genre has rapidly expanded, now comprising 70% of both indie and AAA games.

However, many of these games have become derivative of their predecessors, relying on cheap jump scares, weak storytelling, and random events that fail to truly terrify gamers. In the film industry, horror has become overly commercialized, focusing on themes like demonic possessions, deranged cults, haunted houses, and excessive gore. Hollywood lacks the expertise to create truly terrifying screenplays and films, resulting in a flood of mediocre horror movies. Instead, the best horror films I have recently seen are independent productions with limited budgets that surpass the commercial offerings of Hollywood.

Comic Storytelling

The objective of this specialization is for students who have already acquired the foundations of drawing (the first year of concept or the introductory drawing course, at least) to learn sequential art techniques (closer to film, storyboarding, and of course, comic books). Once learned, the focus will be on producing pages to submit to publishers, agents, and share on social media.

By the end of the specialization, students will have the material that editors want to see in a pitch: 5-10 high-quality sequential art pages, labeled, showcasing their narrative ability in conversational, action, and dramatic situations. Additionally, to comply with the submission guidelines of different publishers, the student will develop character designs, environments, and props used in those sequential pages.

During classes, theory will be taught, applied to practical cases, there will be weekly assignments, a final project, and the creation of a portfolio.

It is important to emphasize that the sequential training is focused on comic books and not manga format. The student can use a manga-style graphic style, but the narrative and reading direction of the project should not be read as a manga comic.

Although we will study and design a cover, this is not a training in pin-ups and illustration. The objective is to draw sequential pages, which is what editors want to see. All the training will be digital, using Photoshop and Clip Studio.
