Christian Comics Pioneer and internationally known tract cartoonist Ron Wheeler offers lessons that include the basics of drawing, starting with realistic drawing and transitioning into cartooning.

Students learn how to sculpt cartoon heads with modeling clay and use that as a reference for drawing characters from different angles.

Students also gain preliminary information on how to create a comic strip.

COMIX35 offers seminars for Christian communicators who want to put comics to work in their evangelism and discipleship materials.

Seminars are very "hands-on" for students, with opportunities to create comic strips and tracts during class which can go into print immediately.

Sessions cover Identifying Your Audience, Plotting & Scripting, Storyboarding & Visual Storytelling, Editing/Art Directing, and Cultural, Communication, and Evangelism Strategy Considerations. (This is not an introductory "how to draw" class, although usually some art instruction is provided during each seminar.)

Almost 40 COMIX35 events have been held worldwide for more than 860 attendees representing 51 countries across Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas.

The Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art is a three-year technical school that teaches the principles of sequential art and the particular craft of the comics industry. It is the only accredited school devoted entirely to cartooning.

Although the Kubert School is a not a Christian school, Born Again Christian comics producer Alec Stevens (pictured here) works on their professional teaching faculty.

Stevens also conducts a weekly after-school Bible study for interested students.

The School of Cartooning & Animation for Missions (SoCam) is a six-month, second-level YWAM school, devoted to training students in using cartoons, comic books, anime, and animated media to communicate the Gospel in culturally relevant ways.

This school is a project of Create International Thailand which was established in 2007 in Chiang Mai, Thailand, to target unreached peoples in China and Indo-China specifically. The 2014 School will be held in Taiwan.

A YWAM Discipleship Training School is a prerequisite.

Youth With a Mission's University of the Nations School of Illustration trains students to draw on the creative power of God in visual communication. Some of their teaching includes cartooning and humorous illustration, childrens books and bibles, tracts and missions publications.

Christian cartoonists Dave Hudson and Ron Wheeler have been involved in teaching at University of Nations School of Illustration in the past.

F.A.I.T.H. (Fine Arts In The Home) Center at the Bethlehem Evangelical Free Church has art classes every Tuesday for children ages 11-18.

Comics professional Alec Stevens teaches the courses Art 1, Art 2, Art 3, and Advanced Art. Each class is opened with prayer, and also Stevens shares eternal truths as they relate to certain principles of art, and vice versa.

There are two other instructors for ages 7-10 (Studio Art and Art Survey) and for the computer art classes.
