Although any graphics program can be used, the lessons are written in PSP7
and PSP8 so you must have good command of any other graphics program you plan
to use so you can use my tutorials as a guide in your program. However, I
will NOT be able to teach you your program.
The class runs 4 weeks and cover 12 scripts. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays,
I will post a link to the lesson ebook. This eBook will consist of a set of
instructions, a average of two graphic tutorials and the script tutorial and
all necessary supplies. You will end up with about a half-dozen strip techniques
and a dozen framing and background techniques as well as many other extras.
This knowledge will then be a good jumping point for snagging scripts. You
should have a good handle on scripts by then but if you want to hang around
for additional scripts, you will have the opportunity to join the advanced
class.
Although I try very hard to make it as simple as possible, knowledge of PSP
and its tools are helpful. If you are not a Paint Shop Pro user you can download
a trial version but it is only good for 30 days then you would need to purchase
it. Class only last 28 days so you can wait until class starts but I do not
recommend it.

you'll learn!
