When everyone's assembled, I'll give a short intro about comics, with visual examples, and chat about group favourites. I have some fun techniques for generating characters, locations and ideas, which I'll demonstrate with a super quick comic of my own, then everyone will decide which type of comic they want to do and I'll go around and give some feedback, tips, and help, covering basic storytelling, drawing skills, composition and design. Towards the end of the 90 minutes we'll have a show-and-tell of their comics (if they want - no pressure!)
We'll use quality materials and some time-saving shortcuts (working in black and white for the workshop to save on colouring-in time, but that could be a good project for afterwards). My aim is for your child to finish with a renewed inspiration, boost of confidence in drawing/composition, and a comic that they've made themselves. If your child has any favourite materials they might feel more comfortable using (eg a sketchbook, art pens) feel free to bring those along, but it's not necessary. I'm keeping the group small so there'll be up to 8 children and their adults.
About Dan:
My background is in comedy and 2D animation. I'm a Bafta-award winning animator of 20 years, also scriptwriter, storyboarder, director and voice actor. I've worked on Peppa Pig, Mr Bean, Tom Gates, Peter Rabbit, Charlie and Lola, Miffy and many more. I've had comics published in Cartoon Network Magazine and have oodles of experience with the technical side, and I’ve recently run a masterclass for art students.
