Greetings fellow Artist,

Are you tired of feeling frustrated and discouraged when it comes to accurately drawing the anatomy, emotions and movement of your characters? If you're like most of my students, you've been drawing for as long as you can remember, and your friends and family are in awe of your skills. Yet, there's always that nagging feeling that something is just a bit off in your art. But fear not, because you're not alone.

I've been there too. No matter how much I practiced, there was always something missing in my artwork. I thought I knew what I was doing, but my pencil told a different story. It was disheartening, and I was on the verge of giving up.

However, my love for comics, cartoons, and drawing was too strong to let go. I persevered, practicing relentlessly for over a decade and a half. I studied under some of my favorite artists, some of whom eventually became my mentors. And finally, I broke through the metaphorical wall of despair.

And you can too...

So who am I and how can I help You? 

 

I'm Mike Van Orden, a Professional Comic Book Artist, Art Instructor and Coach. I've been drawing comic art professionally for well over a decade, and I've worked with some of the biggest names in the industry. I've also taught thousands of students how to improve their art and advance toward their Artistic goals. 

I personally know how frustrating it can be to learn how to draw comic characters like a pro. There's so much information out there, and it can be hard to know where to start.

I'd like to show you how to use simplified techniques to create dynamic and expressive poses. I'll also introduce you to a concept I call (Pattern-Based Sketching) This is a method I developed which focuses on identifying the simple shapes and nuances of the human figure (or anything else you may be drawing) to the point of pattern recognition. This  method is tried and true and will lead to a great finished sketch. What does this mean for you? No more giving up out of frustration

"Not only is this method Easy to learn, it also yields noticeable results and FAST." 

Simply by immersing yourself into this course, you'll be able to draw superheroes that look like they stepped right out of your favorite comic book.

 Why do I believe that you can make great progress in your art, no matter where you are right now?

 

 

Let me tell you a little bit more about my story. 

It wasn't so long ago, I was living in San Diego, California and working odd jobs to make ends meet. My dream was to break into the world of comics, but I was stuck in a cycle of portfolio reviews and conventions that didn't seem to get me anywhere. It was a challenging time, filled with uncertainty and self-doubt. All I wanted to do was break into the industry, but it didn't seem like it was in the cards for me. 
 

I had to develop thick skin.

I desperately tried to get noticed in the competitive comic industry. Success seemed distant and elusive. I went to conventions, hoping to get the attention of publishers, but my art was often met with rejection. One guy even threw my samples into the trash right in front of me. It was disheartening, and I felt like I was running in circles, not making any progress.
 

Then, something incredible happened.

I crossed paths with a very popular and influential comic artist who would become my mentor. He actually saw potential in me when no one else did. He was the only one who gave me a chance and his guidance and support were like a lifeline. I soon started to see a glimmer of hope in my artistic journey. 
 

Life can change at any moment. 

Tragically, my mentor passed away not long after that experience, leaving a void in my life. I went through a dark period, personally and artistically. I soon found myself working a 9-5 job, feeling like I had abandoned my dreams. But deep down, I knew I couldn't give up on my passion.
 

I had to dig deep or risk losing it all.

A few years later, I finally made the decision to break free from the cubicle corporate grind and travel the world. It was during this time, I rediscovered my passion for drawing and committed to it every single day. Starting from nothing more than a childhood dream, I relentlessly pursued my artistic goals. I made a commitment to it like never before.
 

It was all or nothing!

I treated my art like a job, posting my creations on social media daily. I would sometimes put in 10-12 hours of pure drawing. Within a few months, an editor from a major comic publisher reached out to me. He offered me an opportunity to contribute to a book honoring the legacy of my late mentor. It was a surreal moment that marked a turning point in my career.

 

That's How Comic Art Mastery was Born!

I designed this platform from the ground up. My goal was to provide an alternative to the expensive and often inaccessible time-consuming art courses. Most of which didn't speak to comic book art enthusiasts. Comic Art Mastery is the learning platform I wish I had when I was first starting out. An affordable solution tailored specifically to the needs of aspiring comic artists like you.
 

You're not alone!

So, if you're feeling stuck, frustrated, or overwhelmed on your artistic journey, remember that I've been there too. With Comic Art Mastery, I'm here to guide you, like my mentor did for me, and help you turn your dreams into reality. Let's embark on this creative journey together. I've got you.
