Comics workshop during Young Writers Lab 2024

Here are photos and comics from the comics workshop during Young Writers Lab 2024. I was teaching participants the basics for contructing a daily life journal in comics form, like the ones I do in my sketchbooks. The workshop ran two times. In each session, participants (including me) created a page of comics capturing different things that happened recently in their lives. 



























My friend, Miel, the cartoonist also joined the event!

I want to take this workshop! :-) Seriously, if you ever offered it at the USk symposium or wherever, I would take it! Your YouTube several weeks ago about making urban sketches like comic pages has thoroughly inspired me! I have been sketching in that format whenever I can lately. Thank you for sharing your ideas!

Hi Tina, That's neat. I wish I could see urban sketching comic pages by other sketchers. Sounds like you are having fun with that and I'm happy to hear that:)

I would love to see more urban sketchers doing this, too! Here's one I did last weekend:

Hi Tina, I think you captured the dogs and people pretty well, knowing how much they move about. Also liked how you used white against the coloured paper. It does generally follow our eye flow but yes, that could be a little tighter so it's clearer which item to see next. Capturing conversations is a neat way to capture the sounds of a place. So you are in Seattle! Gosh. Long time since I've been there. Only visited once when I was studying at WSU.
