About the class
The Flash is the Fastest Man Alive, which raises an interesting question: how do the artists who draw him showcase that super-speed in a still image? Join DC artist/writer Francis Manapul as he answers that exact question in a live draw-along session that explores the secrets to drawing action. As you depict The Flash in motion, you’ll learn how to create scenes that feature speed, strength, conflict, and movement all in a vivid way that packs your pages full of energy.
