Workshop Three. The final workshop then, done and dusted! The group finally emerge as fully qualified comic artists. As part of this weeks session we gave the groups' drawing skills the final polish and worked on facial expressions - to try and get their characters to 'act' on the comic page. We worked through the basic proportions of the face and then I spent some time posing for the group - pulling faces and gurning trying to look 'surprised' and 'angry' amongst other daft expressions.
As part of the final exercise, we concentrated on Comic Book covers for the characters and stories that had been designed in the previous weeks. Below are some of the stars of the group with their covers. I also received my second comic, this time from Christian, who presents "Belly-flop Boy and the Laser Lamps from Outer Space."
Thanks to everyone who came along to the workshops and I hope that you had as good a time as I did - and wish you success in the future, I hope one day to be buying your comics in the comic shop!
