1. A child wheezes: ”I will eat you” to a smaller child.
2. Two newborn deer wobble off into the woods.
3. Suddenly, a crack opens in the ground.
The relationship between drawing, experiencing, seeing and thinking is intense. Documenting the things that happen around you in a journal increases your ability to contemplate, reflect and imagine. Based on cartoonist Lynda Barry’s thoughts and exercises, in this workshop you get to try keeping a special kind of visual diary, giving you material for stories, characters and ideas for comics. Welcome to a fun and practical workshop to notice the world around you!
PS: The workshop is suitable for everyone, regardless of previous drawing experience! For example if you:
are a comics professional
are curious
haven’t drawn since you were a child
just likes to draw
are afraid to draw and are convinced that you can’t
