One Day Workshop at the Institute 10 May 2014

There were some fantastically skilled kids in my workshop at The Institute in North London on Saturday.  Warming up with a bit of quick character doodling… Then designing characters hinting at their personality and backstory…
They came up with some fantastic possible endings to a three panel strip... Then came the point in the workshop where I asked them what they’d like me to draw peeping over the top of a box.  “A not very well drawn tiger-cub!” they all cried.  Nailed it.I like to use my collaborator’s work as samples of comic making.  Here are some early Rosie and Jacinda designs by the great Zarina Liew…The kids picked up ideas of character design, story crafting and thumbnailing really well… And finished up the day making some fantastic comics… So happy when the kids really get into their work!
