Comic Strip Cartooning Workshop for Kids at Lyttelton Library

July 17, 2018
FAB club cover

I ran the second of my cartooning workshops for kids at the Lyttelton library last week. This one was about comic panels and strips. One of the exercises was to fit as many characters as possible into a panel. I made the rash decision to offer a signed copy of Fab Club to whoever could fit the most in,  though this did result in some creative panels.

Some of the work the children did is below (my favourite is the plastic bag character) - thank you to Lindsey Melchers for taking the pictures (and helping out with the workshop).

(Note that the kids don't get to use rulers!)
