About the workshop

The workshop was a multi-media event, using live drawing and sketching, PowerPoint presentations and slides. Included were discussions and demonstrations of basic creative techniques and basic drawing skills, as well as writing and comic conceptualisation.

Overview

r media felt glad to see the participants engaging actively in all the activities and exercises. The enthusiasm were apparent especially the younger participants. Some of them did not even want to go for the scheduled breaks as they were intent on completing their exercises.

We discovered some raw talents - with the right guidance they can become great graphic novel creators to fill the void in Malay graphic novels.
