Bringing Animal Characters to Life
by Lucinda Gifford
Description
If you love animals, stories and drawing, then sharpen your pencils, smooth out your paper and get together your favourite textas for a session of sketching, hatching and brainstorming with author and illustrator Lucinda Gifford.
We’ll look at storyboarding, illustration and developing a fun character.
Each class should have their own wonderful selection of furry characters by the end of the day.
End with Q&A, summary and chat.
