Mel Macklin’s Guide to Children’s Illustration #101
Ever thought: “When I grow up, I’d like to be a children’s book illustrator”? Then this workshop is for you! After a look at some of the world’s best, we’ll be creating characters, animating them, and developing storyboards of our very own. Participants will go home with at least one finished full-colour frame from their storyboard, and lots of ideas besides. Some drawing skills would be helpful in getting the most out of this workshop, but enthusiasm can work just as well.
Basic materials will be provided but participants are welcome to bring along their own, and/or any specialist equipment. Morning tea will also be provided.
Cost: $50 (this includes morning tea and basic art materials).
