Comic making bridges storytelling and picture making, and this workshop will explore both. Through dynamic exercises that combine simple drawing experiments and story brainstorming, each participant will develop their own personal style and hone the story they wish to tell.

Description

Eight Tuesdays, March 7-April 25, 8-10pm
Open to all.
Limited to 12 participants.

You don’t need to be an artist to enjoy this graphic novel workshop. All you need is a story you want to tell and the courage to put it down on paper. Drawings can be formal and detailed or simple and expressive. Comic making bridges storytelling and picture making, and this workshop will explore both. Through dynamic exercises that combine simple drawing experiments and story brainstorming, each participant will develop their own personal style and hone the story they wish to tell.

People will share their work and give feedback on each other’s pieces and end the workshop with a comic of their own!

This workshop will take place at the QWF Office (Room 3, 1200 Atwater Avenue, Westmount, Quebec) with up to 2 virtual spots for participants who are unable to attend in-person.
