Fanzine and Comic Strip Workshop: A Japanese Animal in 6 Panels
Fanzine and comic strip workshop to invent, draw, and self-publish your own story. What would happen if a lucky cat, a fox, or a tanuki had to face a problem as everyday as it is absurd?
Each participant will create a micro-fanzine starring a popular Japanese animal, with a six-panel story. We will roll dice to randomly combine an animal and a situation, and from there we will learn to build the story, bring the character to life, and tell it in comic format. We will also discover a very simple technique to self-publish fanzines at home with just one sheet of folded paper.
No drawing skills or comic experience are necessary. We will work with very accessible resources.
What you will take away
- An original micro-fanzine created by you
- A card game to keep inventing stories
- Ideas and resources for drawing quickly, simply, and expressively
