Make your own world: Your first comic book with Anthony Charlery

Got a character in your head? Come and put them on the page. In this hands-on workshop, Naniverse, a creative studio telling stories from around the world in an anime style, will help children design a character and work on their own comic page. We'll look a tAdanna's Will, a comic page made by Naniverse, to see how the artist uses panels, expressions and sound effects. Then it's their turn to draw. What You Will DoMeet the world of comics: Explore comics from different places, including manga, manhwa and manhua. Create your character: Use drawing sheets to try different eyes, faces, hairstyles, bodies and poses. Plan your story: Turn an idea into panels and choose from three comic page layouts. Get drawing: Spend the final 35 minutes working on your page, with tutors there to help. Children who want an extra challenge can ask a tutor for an optional bonus card on camera shots or angles. Good To KnowNo drawing experience is needed. Everyone can start with the guided sheets.
