Writing Romance and Relationships for Visual Narratives

Emotionally driven love scenes are a powerful part of a story in any genre. These scenes can and should inform the arcs of both the characters and their relationship, letting readers understand more deeply both what is pulling these characters close… and also what is keeping them apart. So how do you accomplish that with the writing and with the art in visual narratives?

This new two-week mini course by Drew Spence embraces Storytelling Romance, looking at essential keys to crafting relationship arcs as well as planning and executing suitable 3D scenes, with recommended resources. This webinar set includes a presentation, a challenge for Visual Narrative artists and a follow-up session.

There’s also a super content pack of PNG renders to drag and drop into panels, to easily make your own romantic visual narrative.
