Comic Book Drawing Classes in NYC are rated 4.5 stars based on 112 verified reviews from actual CourseHorse.com purchasers.

  • I had an excellent experience with Gosha. I had zero drawing experience, and he helped make it feel accessible and fun. He also did a great job catering his instruction toward my individual goals.
  • The class was actually very fun. It was really casual, and it got me to work on an idea I was currently struggling with.
  • Lots of fun! Great way to spend an evening: supportive atmosphere, and a crash course in how to look at one-panel cartoons. Very much open to beginners, just as much fun for people with experience.
  • Terrific! Informative, fun and encouraging of all levels of artistic interest and ability. Discussion/workshopping was encouraged so I learned from and about my classmates. Really wonderful. Went above my hopes. Thank you!
