Canadian Cartoonist Matt Smith! leads this interactive workshop on creating comics. Drawing on Matt’s background in film, this session takes a look at different camera angles and how they can be used to make your comics feel more dynamic and cinematic!
Any and all drawing styles and experience levels are welcome and participants are welcome to draw digitally or by hand. Blank comic panels will be shared to download/print, but if your home doesn’t have a printer, you can still draw your own panels and participate!
